10ft Used Reefer Container with Cooling Unit

This 10ft used reefer container with cooling unit provides reliable, temperature-controlled storage for businesses needing a compact cold chain solution without the premium price of new units. For example, you can store chilled produce, dairy, flowers, or pharmaceuticals in this space-saving 10ft footprint. Therefore, this unit works perfectly for small farms, restaurants, pharmacies, and catering operations with limited space.

Why Choose a 10ft Reefer Container?

20ft reefers often provide more capacity than smaller operations actually need. In contrast, this 10ft unit offers the perfect size for compact cold storage requirements while still maintaining active refrigeration. Consequently, you save on both upfront cost and ongoing power consumption. Moreover, the Carrier or Thermo King cooling unit provides precise temperature control with proven reliability . Thus, you gain professional-grade cold storage without paying for excess capacity.

Key Features of This Used Reefer Container

The working cooling unit and compact 10ft dimensions make this refrigerated container stand out. For instance, the temperature range spans from -25°C to +25°C, accommodating frozen goods, chilled produce, and pharmaceuticals . Similarly, the high-density polyurethane foam insulation (100-120mm thick) maintains temperature stability with minimal energy consumption . Furthermore, the aluminium T-bar floor ensures even cold air distribution throughout the cargo space. Finally, the CSC safety plate remains valid, confirming structural integrity for intermodal transport if needed.

Used Condition – What to Expect

A used reefer container shows signs of previous service but remains fully functional. For example, typical used 10ft reefers exhibit cosmetic wear including minor dents, surface scratches, and faded paint . Likewise, the cooling unit has service history but we have tested and verified it operational before delivery. If you need a pristine unit for retail display, consider our one-trip reefers. For cost-effective cold storage, used provides exceptional value.

Cooling Unit Options – Carrier or Thermo King

We offer 10ft used reefers with leading refrigeration brands. For example, Carrier units like the 69NT40-551-510 model deliver 36,000 BTU/h cooling capacity with a temperature range from -17.8°C to +1.7°C . Likewise, Thermo King units provide reliable performance with digital temperature controls . Furthermore, both brands operate on 3-phase power (380-460V, 50/60Hz) with typical consumption of 6-10 kW/h . If you have a preference for a specific brand, please specify at order.

10ft Dimensions – Compact but Capable

The 10ft length makes this reefer ideal for smaller cold storage applications with space constraints. For example, the external dimensions measure approximately 2,991mm (L) x 2,438mm (W) x 2,591mm (H) . Likewise, the internal capacity ranges from approximately 11.9 to 12.3 cubic metres, holding 3-4 Euro pallets . Furthermore, the tare weight is approximately 2,820-3,040 kg with a max payload around 6,700-8,000 kg . If you need cold storage but lack space for a 20ft unit, this 10ft reefer fits perfectly.

CSC Certification and Intermodal Use

The CSC plate confirms that this used refrigerated container meets international safety standards. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength . Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks. If you need to relocate the container or ship temperature-sensitive goods, this certification makes transport possible. Thus, you gain flexibility for both static storage and transport.

Power and Electrical Requirements

This reefer requires a standard 3-phase power supply for operation. For example, the unit operates on 380-460V, 50/60Hz with typical consumption of 6-10 kW/h . Likewise, the unit uses R134a refrigerant, which remains widely available for servicing. Furthermore, the unit includes a 32A CEE socket for easy hookup to site power . If you lack 3-phase power at your location, we can advise on generator solutions.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 10ft high cube reefer container with Carrier or Thermo King cooling unit (subject to availability). Second, we test the unit and confirm operational status before delivery. Third, the CSC safety plate comes affixed and valid. Fourth, aluminium T-bar flooring and double-leaf doors with 4-bar locking complete the package . Finally, forklift pockets (4) allow easy repositioning.

For instance, you can add a full repainting service in any RAL colour. Likewise, you can add a temperature data logger for remote monitoring. Furthermore, a power cable with 32A CEE plug can be supplied. Contact our team for specific unit availability.
