40ft Standard Used Insulated Container (Non-Working Reefer) – Affordable & Secure Storage

Overview

The 40ft Standard Used Insulated Container, also known as a non-working refrigerated container (reefer), is an excellent option for businesses and individuals who need temperature-resistant, weatherproof, and secure storage without the cost of a working refrigeration unit. With its standard 8’6” height, this container offers reliable capacity for bulk goods, dry storage, and temperature-sensitive items.

These containers were originally refrigerated units, but their cooling machinery has been decommissioned. They still feature insulated walls, floors, and ceilings, which provide passive temperature control, helping to keep stored goods cooler in hot climates and warmer in colder conditions.
