We inspect every second-hand refrigerated sea container before delivery to make sure the refrigeration unit is functioning correctly, the interior is clean and food-safe, and the structure is sound. Exterior cosmetic wear is common on used containers. This doesn’t affect performance. If you have specific condition requirements, let us know and we’ll match you with a unit that suits. Are second-hand refrigerated containers reliable? A well-maintained second-hand container performs the same as a new one. The temperature range, construction and food-safe interior are consistent across the range. The main differences are cosmetic wear and potentially a shorter remaining service life, depending on the unit’s age and prior use. For temporary, seasonal or budget-conscious cold storage requirements, a second-hand unit is often the practical choice. Also older units may not be as efficient from a power perspective with aging insulation and older machinery this can drag on power costs. Newer units have highly efficient modern technology that can reduce these costs having said that the older units are still highly reliable and maintain temperature with ease. Can Climatight modify a second-hand reefer container? Absolutely. We can modify your container to meet your operational and safety requirements, including: - Side doors - Access ramps - Lighting and electrics - Ventilation - Plastic door curtain - Padlocks and lock boxes - Shelving - Painting For a full list of what’s possible, see our [Accessories and Customisation page](https://www.climatightcontainers.com.au/product-service/accessories-customisation/) . What sizes do Climatight’s second-hand refrigerated containers come in? We typically have 10ft, 20ft and 40ft second-hand reefer containers available, although stock can change. We may also have high cube models and 20ft and 40ft pallet-wide refrigerated containers available for resale. If you need a specific size, call us on 0475 000 560 or email [sales@climatight.com.au](mailto:sales@climatight.com.au) and we’ll let you know what’s available and what lead times look like.
