Refrigerated Sea Containers FAQs

View more FAQs
What is the storage capacity of the different refrigerated containers?

We offer 10ft, 20ft and 40ft refrigerated containers in both general purpose (GP) and high cube (HC) formats. High cube containers have almost 300mm extra internal height.

GP HC
10ft 15.49m³ 14.17m³
20ft 28.3m³ 31.63m³
40ft 60.25m³ 68.74m3

If you’re planning to store pallets, here’s what you can expect:

  • 10ft: 1 pallet or 2 stacked
  • 20ft: 4 pallets or 8 stacked
  • 40ft: 9 pallets or 18 stacked

We also supply two-pallet-wide containers designed to fit two pallets side by side:

  • 20ft pallet-wide: 8 pallets or 16 stacked
  • 40ft pallet-wide: 18 pallets or 32 stacked

You can see full specifications and measurements on the individual product pages. If you’re unsure which size suits your needs, our team can guide you through the options.

Please note: Pallet capacity based on standard 1,165mm x 1,165mm Australian CHEP pallets. All containers have a maximum payload capacity, which may reduce the number of pallets that can be safely stored.

What happens if my refrigerated container breaks down?

We provide 24/7 emergency breakdown support for all refrigerated container hire customers. Emergency contact details will be provided at the time of booking.

If you’ve purchased a container, we extend the same 24/7 emergency breakdown service to you as an after-sales commitment.

In the rare event that something goes wrong, contact a Climatight representative as soon as possible. We’ll dispatch a fully qualified reefer technician to attend the unit and resolve the issue.

Do you deliver to regional areas?

Yes. We arrange delivery across all of Australia, including regional and remote locations through our network of trusted transport providers. Call us on 0475 000 560 to discuss your location and confirm lead times.

How is a refrigerated container powered?

Most of our containers run on three-phase power. You’ll need the following at your delivery site:

  • Voltage: 380/460V
  • Amps: 32A
  • Plug: 4 or 5-pin Wilco
  • Frequency: 50/60Hz

It’s best to place the refrigerated container within 10 metres of the power source. If your site is further away, call us before confirming your booking and we’ll help you find a solution.

Can I run a refrigerated container without three-phase power?

Yes. If three-phase power isn’t available, a 15kVA generator is typically sufficient to run a refrigerated container.
