40ft Refrigerated Containers FAQs

How much storage space does a 40ft refrigerated sea container have?

The standard or ‘general purpose’ 40ft refrigerated container for sale has 60.25m³ of internal space, with 11,590mm of internal length and a payload capacity of 29,350kg. The taller ‘high cube’ 40ft container lifts the internal height by nearly 300mm, giving you more headroom for tall stock.

Both containers comfortably handle nine standard Australian pallets (1,165mm x 1,165mm) in a single row with plenty of space for shelving, cartons or additional stock. If you need more pallet storage, our pallet-wide 40ft refrigerated containers are built to handle two rows of pallets.

What is the temperature range of a 40ft refrigerated container?

Climatight’s 40ft refrigerated containers operate between -30°C and +30°C, covering both freezer and chiller applications. You adjust the thermostat to suit what you’re storing, whether that’s frozen goods, fresh produce, beverages, pharmaceuticals, or floristry stock.

The steel construction and high-density foam insulation also regulate humidity, which is particularly useful for sensitive stock.

Does Climatight offer 24/7 support for refrigerated containers?

Yes. When you hire a Climatight refrigerated container, you get 24/7 emergency breakdown support in Australian metro areas. We also provide after-sales support for purchased containers.

Every unit is inspected before delivery to make sure it’s in full working order. For second-hand reefer containers and those showing signs of aging, we can replace the refrigeration unit with a new one.

Can I hire a 40ft refrigerated container rather than buying one?

Yes. Climatight offers 40ft refrigerated containers for sale and on flexible hire agreements. Hiring is best for businesses managing seasonal peaks or temporary storage needs. Purchasing makes more sense when you need long-term cold storage but don’t have the space or budget for permanent infrastructure.

Call us on 0475 000 560 and we’ll help you figure out which option fits your situation.

Can Climatight modify a 40ft refrigerated container before delivery?

Yes. We can fit shelving, loading ramps, internal lighting, door curtains, and other accessories before the container leaves us. If you need additional doors, paint, custom modifications or a custom internal layout, speak to our team and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
