40ft High Cube Refrigerated Container
Overview
The 40ft high cube refrigerated container is our largest cold-storage option and comes in both new and used formats.
The extra internal height makes it suitable for bulk chilled or frozen stock, longer product runs or operations that need storage that stays on site for extended periods. The new model supports a temperature range from –35°C to +30°C and is supplied with a full set of fittings for regular handling, while the used model provides a cost-effective alternative for a slightly reduced range of cooling performance.
The footprint and internal space remain comparable across both options, making it easy to plan for yards, service areas or production site. Choosing between new and used typically comes down to operational demands, budget and how long the unit will stay in place. Both versions can be bought or hired depending on the level of flexibility required.
