What a 20ft Refrigerated Container Does
A 20ft refrigerated container gives you a portable, self-contained cold chain solution that works anywhere a power source is available. Mechanically refrigerated units connect to a generator, truck, or train power supply and maintain your set temperature throughout the journey or storage period. Moreover, the smaller 20ft footprint fits sites where a 40ft reefer won’t — narrow access yards, compact worksites, and events with limited space. Therefore, it suits food processors, catering companies, pharmaceutical operators, and construction camps equally well.
Non-operational refrigerated containers — also known as NOR units — are decommissioned reefers with the motor removed. They work as insulated containers, holding ambient temperature without active refrigeration. If your cargo only needs temperature buffering rather than active cooling, a NOR unit costs less to run. Contact us to confirm which configuration suits your application.
What You Can Store in a 20ft Refrigerated Container
- Meat, poultry, and seafood — full freezer range down to -25°C
- Dairy and cheese — consistent chill temperature throughout
- Fruit and vegetables — steady ambient or chilled storage
- Flowers and plants — controlled environment, reduced spoilage
- Pharmaceuticals — temperature-sensitive medical supply storage
- Beverages — events, festivals, and catering applications
20ft Refrigerated Container Modifications
A 20ft refrigerated container accepts a full range of modifications to suit your specific workflow. Shelving, lighting, butcher doors, and lockboxes all install cleanly into the existing structure. Furthermore, custom access points cut into side walls give walk-in coolroom access without compromising the refrigeration seal. As a result, this unit converts into a permanent cold storage facility on a farm, mine site, or food processing operation.
