Description

General condition and features

This second-hand 20-foot refrigerated container, also known as a ‘Reefer’, comes from international maritime transport. It has been used for several years to store and preserve fresh or frozen goods, whilst retaining a fully functional refrigeration unit, high-performance insulation made from injected polyurethane foam, and a robust, watertight structure made of Corten steel.

Over time, it may show some visible signs of wear, localised corrosion, scratches, minor dents or occasional repairs, but these marks do not in any way affect its watertightness or thermal performance.

Inspection and testing of the refrigeration unit

Before being made available for use, each refrigerated container undergoes a comprehensive technical inspection (PTI – Pre-Trip Inspection). This standardised test checks that the compressor, sensors, electrical system, control system and internal fan are all functioning correctly. The reefer is tested empty, with the temperature raised and lowered, to confirm that it maintains a stable and constant temperature over time.

Once delivered, the container is ready for immediate use: simply connect it to a suitable power supply. However, the engine is no longer under warranty.
