Daikin 40ft Refrigerated Shipping Container – Used

A used Daikin 40ft refrigerated shipping container offers cost-effective, temperature-controlled storage for businesses requiring reliable cold chain solutions without the premium price of brand-new units. For example, this container is perfect for farms, food distributors, pharmaceutical storage, or event catering where maintaining product temperature between -30°C and +30°C is essential . However, unlike new reefers that command premium prices, this used unit provides the same Daikin refrigeration quality with cosmetic wear at a significantly lower cost. As a result, you receive a CSC-certified, high cube refrigerated container with reliable Daikin cooling technology for a fraction of the price of new. Learn about reefer container specifications from official industry guidelines.

Why Choose a Used Daikin Reefer Container?

New refrigerated containers are expensive and often unnecessary for ground-based cold storage. In contrast, this used Daikin 40ft refrigerated shipping container offers the same temperature range (-30°C to +30°C) and cubic capacity (approx. 67.4 m³) as a new unit . Consequently, Daikin units feature scroll compressors, providing precise temperature control with low power consumption and reduced operating costs . Moreover, the used condition means cosmetic wear (dents, scratches, faded paint) that does not affect functionality. Thus, you gain reliable cold storage at 40–60% of the cost of new.

Key Features of This Used Daikin Reefer Container

The Daikin refrigeration unit and high cube dimensions are the defining features of this unit. For instance, the temperature range spans from -30°C to +30°C, accommodating frozen goods, chilled produce, and pharmaceuticals . Similarly, the bottom-air delivery system with T-bar aluminium flooring ensures even temperature distribution throughout the cargo space . Furthermore, the high cube height (9ft 6in exterior, approx. 8ft 4in interior) provides standing headroom and vertical storage capacity . Finally, the CSC plate remains valid, allowing intermodal shipping on ships, trains, and trucks .

Daikin Refrigeration Technology

Daikin is a market leader in reefer container refrigeration. For example, Daikin units feature scroll compressors known for durability, energy efficiency, and stable temperature control . Likewise, the ZESTIA and LXE series incorporate inverter technology that converts power supply, providing precise temperature control with low power consumption . If you are storing pharmaceuticals or flowers, Daikin units also feature active Controlled Atmosphere (CA) capability to slow ripening and extend shelf life .

Used Condition – What to Expect

A used reefer container shows signs of previous ocean service. For example, typical used 40ft Daikin reefer containers are 5–15 years old with cosmetic wear including minor dents, surface scratches, faded paint, and previous shipping line markings . Likewise, the refrigeration unit has service history but remains fully functional with normal wear . If you need a pristine unit for retail display or office conversion, consider a one-trip or new unit. For ground-based cold storage, used provides exceptional value.

CSC Certification and Intermodal Use

CSC plates are mandatory for containers used in international shipping. For example, this used Daikin 40ft refrigerated shipping container includes a valid CSC safety plate (ISO 45R1) . Likewise, the 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. Even for static storage, CSC certification adds resale value.

Durability and Insulation

Daikin reefers are built for harsh marine environments. First, the container features Corten steel frame construction with MGSS (Muffler Grade Stainless Steel) underfloor components . Second, insulation maintains temperature stability with minimal heat leakage (tested at 38.5 kcal/deg.c.hr) . Third, the premium ‘T’ floor uses high-grade Aluminium 6082 T6 for durable flooring and optimal airflow . Finally, rubber door seals are tested for low air leakage (2m³/hr), maximising energy efficiency .

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 40ft high cube Corten steel container with Daikin refrigeration unit. Second, CSC safety plate is affixed and valid. Third, T-bar aluminium flooring is fitted for airflow. Finally, forklift pockets and crane lugs are included for repositioning.

For instance, add a data logger for temperature monitoring. Likewise, a full repainting service is available. Contact our container team for bulk orders.
