20ft Domestic Refrigerated Container for Sale

20ft Domestic Refrigerated Container: Full Size Cold Storage with Professional Grade Performance

The 20ft Domestic Refrigerated Container is our most popular reefer unit, offering 27 cubic meters of temperature controlled storage space powered by the proven Thermo King Magnum Plus refrigeration system. It maintains temperatures anywhere from minus 40 degrees Celsius for deep freezing to plus 30 degrees Celsius for controlled ambient storage, giving you complete flexibility to store frozen goods, chilled products, or temperature sensitive materials that simply need to be kept within a specific range.

With stainless steel interior cladding, a flat floor designed for easy cleaning, excellent insulation values, and an included extra long connecting cable, this unit is ready to connect and operate the moment it arrives on your site. Whether you are a food distributor, caterer, pharmaceutical company, florist, supermarket, or any business that relies on precise temperature management, this container delivers commercial grade cold chain performance in a self contained, transportable package.

Why the 20ft Size

The 20ft reefer hits the practical sweet spot for most domestic cold storage operations. It provides enough internal volume to store substantial quantities of stock, multiple pallet loads, or weeks worth of inventory, while remaining compact enough to fit on standard commercial properties, restaurant car parks, loading docks, and industrial yards. The refrigeration system is sized to match the internal volume efficiently, reaching target temperature quickly and maintaining it with lower energy consumption than a half empty 40ft unit would require for the same amount of stored goods.

Key Features

• Thermo King Magnum Plus machinery: An industry leading refrigeration unit trusted throughout the global cold chain for its reliability, precise temperature control, and serviceability. Parts and support are widely available.
• Stainless steel interior cladding: Food grade stainless steel lines the interior walls, providing a hygienic surface that resists bacteria, cleans easily with standard sanitizers, and meets health and safety requirements for food contact environments.
• Flat floor design: A smooth, level interior floor allows pallets to sit flat, hand trucks to roll freely, and cleaning to be completed quickly and thoroughly without trapped debris.
• Excellent insulation value: High density foam insulation in all walls, the floor, and ceiling minimizes thermal transfer, reducing energy consumption and maintaining stable interior temperatures even in high ambient heat.
• Wide door opening: At 2,290 mm wide and 2,264 mm tall, the doors accommodate standard pallets, hand trucks, and walk in access without restriction.
• Easy opening door handle: A rubber grip handle allows smooth, one hand operation even when wearing insulated gloves in cold conditions.
• Two forklift pockets: Integrated pockets allow the entire unit to be lifted and repositioned using standard forklift equipment.
• Extra long connecting cable: Included with the unit for flexible positioning relative to your power source, eliminating the need for additional extension leads.

Specifications

Testing and Quality

• P.T.I. tested: Every unit undergoes a Pre Trip Inspection with a documented test report confirming the refrigeration system starts correctly, reaches set temperature within specification, and maintains it reliably under load.
• Stainless steel hygiene: The interior finish meets commercial food storage standards for cleanliness, resistance to contamination, and ease of sanitization.
• Insulation integrity: The insulation package is inspected to confirm there are no thermal bridges, damaged sections, or compromised seals that would reduce efficiency.

Construction

• Corten steel exterior: The shell is fabricated from weathering steel that resists corrosion naturally, providing long service life in outdoor and coastal environments.
• Sealed construction: All panel joints, door seals, and penetrations are designed to maintain the thermal envelope without air leakage that would force the refrigeration system to work harder.
• Stackable design: Standard corner castings allow the unit to be stacked with other containers for efficient storage or transport.
