20ft Used Refrigerated Shipping Container – Reefer Container for Sale
Need reliable cold storage in Australia? Cargo Co’s 20ft used refrigerated shipping container (reefer) is a Cargo Worthy unit equipped with commercial-grade refrigeration machinery, designed for dependable temperature-controlled storage anywhere on site. Ideal for food distribution, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, hospitality, manufacturing, and event cold storage where a compact, plug-and-play cold room is needed.
Every 20ft reefer container is inspected to meet Cargo Worthy structural standards and undergoes a full pre-trip inspection (PTI) to confirm the refrigeration system is fully operational before delivery. Choose from trusted refrigeration brands including Thermo King, Carrier, or Daikin depending on your temperature range and parts-support preference.
Units typically maintain interior temperatures from -29°C to +21°C (-20°F to +70°F), with Thermo King units capable of reaching as low as -40°C (-40°F) for blast-freezer style storage. An optional dual-voltage transformer is available to allow operation in 230V single-phase environments, offering greater installation flexibility on Australian sites.

Condition Notes
This is a used refrigerated container. Expect a sound Cargo Worthy structure with serviceable cargo doors, weather seals, and an aluminium T-bar floor. The refrigeration unit has passed a full pre-trip inspection (PTI) and is ready for plug-in operation on a suitable 460V 3-phase supply, or via an optional transformer for 230V single-phase use. Minor cosmetic wear is expected on the exterior – performance, not paint, is what matters here.
