Moreover, Carrier Primeline units are renowned for their temperature precision and dehumidification capability down to 50 percent – essential for pharmaceuticals and flowers . Thus, you gain Carrier’s renowned cooling technology at a fraction of new cost.

Key Features of This Carrier Primeline Reefer

The 2012 Carrier Primeline cooling unit and high cube dimensions are the defining features of this unit. The temperature range spans from approximately -35°C to +30°C, accommodating deep-frozen goods, chilled produce, and pharmaceuticals . The rubber-sealed doors prevent air leaks and help maintain a consistent internal temperature – even fluctuations can cause spoilage and product loss . The aluminium T-bar floor ensures even cold air distribution throughout the cargo space. The CSC safety plate remains valid (Cargo Worthy grade typically), allowing intermodal shipping on ships, trains, and trucks. Check UK storage regulations before ordering.

2012 Model Year – What to Expect

A 2012 model reefer shows signs of approximately 10-13 years of potential service. For example, this unit has been inspected and tested to confirm the Carrier Primeline unit remains fully functional. Used reefer prices are heavily influenced by age and hours on the refrigeration unit . The container exhibits cosmetic wear consistent with its age (dents, scratches, faded paint) but remains structurally sound. If you need a newer unit with fewer hours for high-volume commercial use, consider a later model year. For budget-conscious cold storage, the 2012 model offers exceptional value.

CSC Certification and Intermodal Use

CSC plates are mandatory for containers used in international shipping. This used 40ft high cube refrigerated container includes a valid CSC safety plate at time of sale (Cargo Worthy grade typically). This plate confirms the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength. If you are importing or exporting temperature-sensitive goods, the CSC plate is essential for customs clearance and carrier acceptance. For static ground-based storage, CSC certification ensures structural integrity.
