About this unit
This 20ft refrigeration container is available in used cargo-worthy condition, fitted with a running refrigeration unit from Carrier, Thermoking, or Daikin. The unit maintains a set temperature to protect perishable goods across the full cold chain — from farm gate to distribution centre to final delivery. Furthermore, a strip curtain keeps cold air inside the unit each time the doors open during loading and unloading. In addition, a diesel generator set option powers the refrigeration unit on sites and vessels where mains or three-phase power is unavailable.

What Sets the 20ft Refrigeration Container Apart
A 20ft refrigeration container suits operators who need a portable, self-contained cold chain solution that works anywhere a power source reaches. The compact 20ft footprint fits sites where a 40ft reefer won’t — narrow access yards, urban event venues, and compact processing facilities. Furthermore, the diesel genset option removes the mains power dependency entirely — the unit runs independently on farms, remote mine sites, and vessels between port calls. As a result, this container covers cold storage and active refrigerated freight requirements across food production, pharmaceutical distribution, seafood processing, agricultural operations, and event catering.
Non-running insulated containers are also available for applications that need temperature buffering rather than active refrigeration. An insulated non-running unit holds ambient temperature without running costs — contact us to confirm current stock if that suits your application. Moreover, the strip curtain reduces cold air loss on every door opening during active loading cycles, extending compressor run time and reducing power consumption over a full shift.
