40ft High Cube Refrigerated Container

The 40ft High Cube Refrigerated Container provides a large temperature-controlled storage solution for businesses requiring reliable refrigerated or frozen storage capacity.

Also known as a 40ft High Cube Reefer, this container combines an insulated container body with an integrated refrigeration system. The High Cube configuration provides additional vertical space compared with a standard-height refrigerated container.

Depending on the refrigeration unit and configuration, 40ft High Cube reefers can be used for chilled and frozen applications, including food, beverages, fresh produce and other temperature-sensitive products.

Agriculture

Useful for temporary or permanent refrigerated storage of agricultural products.

Product Specifications

Typical industry specifications are shown below for reference. The actual Aussie Container unit should be measured and documented before these figures are published as fixed product specifications. Specifications vary between reefer manufacturers and refrigeration systems.

For example, SeaCube lists a 40ft High Cube reefer at approximately 12.192m × 2.438m × 2.896m, with about 67m³ internal capacity. Royal Wolf’s Australian specifications also show 40ft High Cube refrigerated configurations and note that temperature range and power requirements vary by refrigeration system.

Refrigeration & Power

The refrigeration system is one of the most important specifications to confirm before purchase.

Depending on the particular unit, refrigerated containers may use different refrigeration systems and power configurations. Royal Wolf, for example, lists single-phase systems for certain refrigerated units and three-phase systems for others.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Refrigeration unit manufacturer
• Model
• Operating temperature range
• Required power supply
• Voltage
• Phase
• Amperage
• Refrigerant
• Cooling capacity
• Operating hours
• Maintenance history
• Pre-trip inspection/operational test status

Do not advertise a specific temperature range such as -25°C to +25°C unless it has been verified for the actual refrigeration unit.

Important Information

A refrigerated container is significantly different from a standard dry shipping container.

Before purchasing, customers should confirm:

• Exact external and internal dimensions
• Refrigeration unit make and model
• Temperature range
• Power requirements
• Refrigeration operating condition
• Tare weight
• Maximum payload
• Container condition
• Insulation condition
• Floor condition
• Door seals
• Refrigeration maintenance history
• Certification, if required
• CSC status if intended for international transport

For temperature-sensitive products, the required storage temperature should be confirmed against the actual refrigeration system before purchase.

If the container will be used for food, pharmaceutical or other regulated products, customers should also confirm the applicable Australian regulatory and operational requirements.

Delivery Across Australia

Aussie Container provides container solutions for customers across Australia.

Delivery arrangements depend on:

• Delivery postcode
• Container dimensions and weight
• Transport availability
• Site access
• Ground conditions
• Placement requirements
• Unloading equipment
• Power requirements at the destination

Because a 40ft High Cube reefer is a large and heavy piece of equipment, customers should confirm suitable delivery access and a firm, level installation area.

The refrigeration unit may also require an appropriate electrical connection at the destination.
