20ft Military Specification Reefer Container

Ex-military 20ft reefer, sold with a spare machine

Built in the United States to military specification, this 20ft refrigerated container is a heavier-duty proposition than a standard commercial reefer. Containers made for defence logistics are designed to take rough handling, repeated relocation and long spells standing out in the open, which is exactly what makes them worth buying once they leave service. Industrial users, farms and event caterers all put them back to work.

There is one of these available. It runs on a 208V three-phase supply, and it is supplied with a brand-new replacement refrigeration unit, still crated, showing 16.5 hours on the clock. The refrigeration unit currently bolted to the container is believed to be functional but has a couple of wires disconnected, so we describe it as seen rather than guarantee it. The crated replacement is what makes the package add up at this price.

That combination suits a buyer who has an electrician or a refrigeration engineer available: you get a military-grade shell, a new machine to fit, and a working spare to fall back on. If you would rather take delivery of something with nothing at all to sort out, one of our standard reefers will be the easier route and we are happy to say so. We deliver it free, wherever you are in the UK.
