20FT New Refrigerated Shipping Container

Cold storage in a 20ft ISO footprint, held anywhere between –40°C and +30°C by a Thermo King Magnum Plus unit. The shell is built to ISO intermodal standards and sold new, one trip, so it travels on the same chassis, railcars and vessels as any standard box while working as a sealed cold room.

Aluminum outside, food-safe stainless steel inside. The unit is specified for critical-use duty — structural integrity, sanitary conditions and power efficiency under load — across commercial food logistics, pharmaceutical supply chains, disaster response units and high-demand cold chain operations.

What the Build Buys You

• Aluminum cladding resists corrosion and asks little in maintenance, which matters most on coastal or high-humidity sites.
• Flat stainless interior is hygienic and food grade; smooth walls over an aluminum floor leave nowhere for rust or microbial growth to take hold.
• Automatic self-closing drains raise both safety and sanitation through cleaning cycles.
• Panic alarm, strobe and siren carry override functions and meet workplace safety standards; interior lighting is built in.
• The flat floor takes rolling carts, forklifts and pallet jacks, which keeps product moving in food and pharmaceutical settings.
• Forklift pocket spacing follows industry standard, so yard handling and transport need no special rigging.

Where These Units Go to Work

Cold chain logistics

Produce, dairy, meats, seafood and beverages held at working temperature. Food warehouses, distributors and exporters run them where refrigeration has to sit on site or move with the load.

Pharmaceutical and medical deployment

Vaccines, clinical supplies, reagents and biologics kept secure and temperature controlled. Mobile vaccination centers and hospital expansions are the usual settings.

Disaster response and emergency field use

A cold room that can be dropped at mobile clinics, emergency shelters or medical staging zones. Powered, lockable, and built to be handled in field conditions.

Military and remote government operations

Climate-controlled storage for field rations, medications, temperature-sensitive electronics or command post supply units.

Condition and Pre-Dispatch Checks

Sold in new (one-trip) condition, and compliant with ISO standards covering both intermodal shipping and cargo handling. Before a unit leaves, five things are done and recorded:

• Electrical safety check, with cable integrity verified
• Door mechanisms, seals and lighting systems verified
• Diagnostics run on the Thermo King Magnum Plus unit
• Digital temperature calibration records produced
• Full inspection and operational test ahead of dispatch

All containers are eligible for Thermo King warranty support through certified service providers.
