20ft Refrigerated Containers Adelaide FAQs

What's the storage capacity of a 20ft refrigerated container?

The 20ft refrigerated shipping container has a cubic capacity of 28.3m³ (31.63m³ for high cube containers) and a payload capacity of 27,360kg. In practical terms, that’s sufficient to store 4 standard CHEP pallets in a single line with ample additional space for shelving or cartons.

It’s a considerable step up from a 10ft unit and suits Adelaide businesses that need real working volume without the full footprint of a 40ft container. Climatight also offer 20ft and 40ft high cube pallet-wide containers that are designed to accommodate two rows of standard Australian CHEP pallets (1,165mm x 1,165mm). This configuration is a popular option among a wide range of businesses.

What temperature range does a 20ft refrigerated container operate at?

Climatight’s 20ft refrigerated containers operate within a temperature range of -30°C to +30°C. This means the same container can function as a freezer or a chiller, depending on your requirements.

These are highly versatile units that are widely used across a range of industries. You can store frozen products, fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, beverages, food or floristry stock, making these containers perfect for a wide range of businesses in Adelaide, SA and Australia-wide.

Do you offer 20ft refrigerated container hire as well as sales?

Absolutely – Climatight provides both hire and purchase options across all refrigerated container sizes, including 20ft general purpose and high cube containers. Our flexible hire options give Adelaide businesses on-demand cold chain solutions for seasonal storage, cool room renovations or overflow stock.

Purchasing makes sense when you require permanent or long-term cold storage but don’t have the space or budget for a permanent cool room. If you’re uncertain which is right for you, call us on 0475 000 560 for advice.

Does Climatight deliver 20ft containers Australia-wide?

Yes, Climatight supplies refrigerated containers Australia-wide, including Adelaide and Perth. If you’re in a South Australian or Western Australian metro area, next-day delivery may be possible depending on the unit and logistics. For regional and remote locations, we’ll confirm logistics and lead times with you directly.

All Climatight 20ft reefer containers are checked before dispatch and backed by 24/7 emergency support in Australian metro areas once delivered.

We can also transport refrigerated containers globally through our international partners. Contact us if you need to ship a container overseas.

Can Climatight customise a 20ft refrigerated container before delivery?

Yes, we offer a wide range of container customisation options with our 20ft reefer containers, and can equip your new container with shelving, loading ramps, internal lighting, door curtains, locks and additional accessories.

If you are purchasing a 20ft reefer container in Adelaide and have specific requirements, we can fully customise your unit. From energy-efficient refrigeration to a custom door configuration or tailored internal layout, our custom-built refrigerated containers operate the way you need.
