Used 20ft Reefer Container for Sale
If you need additional cold storage without the higher cost of a new unit, a Used 20ft Reefer Container for Sale can provide a practical and budget-friendly solution. These refrigerated containers combine insulated steel construction with a powered refrigeration system to create a controlled environment for temperature-sensitive goods.
Because the unit has a compact 20ft footprint, it can add cold-storage capacity without requiring a large amount of space. Therefore, it can work well for businesses with limited yard space, loading areas, parking areas, or urban sites.
Used reefer containers can vary in age, condition, refrigeration equipment, and cosmetic appearance. For that reason, we recommend confirming the unit’s current condition, operating temperature, refrigeration system, and power requirements before purchase.
Flexible Temperature-Controlled Storage
This 20ft refrigerated container is designed to support temperatures from approximately -20°F to 70°F, depending on the refrigeration system, ambient conditions, cargo load, and operating settings.
As a result, the unit can support a broad range of chilled and frozen storage applications. Businesses can use refrigerated containers to hold food, produce, meat, seafood, beverages, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, and other temperature-sensitive inventory.
However, each product has its own storage requirements. Always confirm the required temperature range for your goods before selecting a reefer container.
Compact 20ft Reefer Design
Space can be a major concern when adding cold storage. Fortunately, a Used 20ft Reefer Container provides a compact footprint while still offering a substantial enclosed storage area.
Its standard 20ft container footprint makes it suitable for many commercial and industrial locations. In addition, the unit can provide temporary or long-term refrigerated storage without the need to construct a permanent cold room.
This makes it a useful option for grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, farms, food distributors, pharmacies, warehouses, and other businesses that need extra temperature-controlled space.
Energy-Efficient Refrigeration System
The refrigeration system features on-demand defrosting technology, which helps limit unnecessary defrost cycles when operating conditions allow. Consequently, the system can support efficient temperature management while reducing unnecessary energy use.
Actual energy consumption will vary based on the temperature set point, outdoor conditions, cargo volume, door openings, insulation condition, refrigeration equipment, and operating schedule.
For used equipment, we recommend checking the refrigeration system’s service history and operating condition before purchase.
Downward Evaporator Airflow
This 20ft reefer container for sale uses downward evaporator airflow to distribute conditioned air through the storage area.
At high speed, the listed airflow is approximately 5,437 m³/h, or 3,200 ft³/min, at 60 Hz. Low-speed airflow is approximately 2,379 m³/h, or 1,400 ft³/min, at 60 Hz.
Proper cargo placement remains important. Therefore, avoid blocking airflow paths and maintain suitable clearance around the evaporator and stored products.
Flexible Power Options
The refrigeration system can operate on 460V or 230V three-phase power, depending on the equipment configuration. Optional transformers may also be available when the site’s electrical supply differs from the refrigeration unit’s required input.
Before purchasing a used reefer container, confirm your site’s available voltage, phase, frequency, amperage, and electrical connection requirements. A qualified electrician should verify the connection before operation.

Used Reefer Container for Food and Business Storage
A used 20ft refrigerated container can provide valuable additional storage for businesses that need to expand cold capacity quickly. For example, grocery stores can use the unit for overflow inventory, while restaurants and caterers can use it for food and beverage storage.
Likewise, farms and food distributors can use refrigerated storage to help manage temperature-sensitive products before distribution.
Pharmaceutical and medical applications may require specific temperature monitoring, validation, alarm systems, and regulatory controls. Therefore, confirm that the particular reefer unit meets your application’s requirements before use.
Cost-Effective Alternative to a New Reefer
Buying a used reefer container can reduce the initial cost of adding refrigerated storage. Instead of investing in a new unit, businesses can consider a pre-owned refrigerated container when budget, availability, and application requirements make used equipment a suitable choice.
Moreover, the 20ft size offers a practical balance between storage capacity and site footprint.
Because used equipment can show different levels of wear, we recommend reviewing photos, refrigeration operation, condition, specifications, and available service information before placing an order.
