A 20ft used certified refrigerated shipping container — also called a 20-foot reefer or refrigerated cargo container — is a pre-owned, temperature-controlled steel unit you own outright, built for dependable cold storage in a compact footprint. Ideal for food distribution, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and manufacturing where certified refrigeration matters.

What does certified mean on a used reefer? Each unit is inspected to cargo-worthy structural standards and receives a full pre-trip inspection so the refrigeration machinery is operational before delivery. Built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel with commercial-grade refrigeration equipment, a used certified refrigerated container delivers cold-chain performance without the cost of a factory-new unit.

Trusted refrigeration brands including Thermo King, Carrier, or Daikin may be installed depending on your temperature range needs. An optional dual voltage transformer allows operation in 230V single-phase environments where 3-phase power is unavailable. Perfect for catering prep, floral cold rooms, beverage staging, produce holding, and on-site pharma storage. Units ship in stock for nationwide delivery, giving you secure steel storage on a timeline that matches project deadlines without waiting on custom lead times.
