20FT Refrigerated Container Hire

20ft Refrigerated Container Hire — Compact & Reliable Cold Storage

Built tough for the scorching Australian summer, these containers provide precise, industrial-grade temperature control while fitting neatly into a compact 6-metre space. Unlike your typical cool rooms, these heavy-duty shipping containers are made for the outdoors, keeping temperatures steady between -25°C and +25°C, no matter how hot it gets outside. This unit is all about versatility. It boasts a HACCP-friendly stainless steel interior and fully washable T-bar flooring, making it perfect for supermarkets, food processors, wineries, and events. Plus, its secure, weather-resistant design means it can sit outside in car parks or loading docks, freeing up precious space inside your warehouse. If you’re in a remote area or lack sufficient power, no worries! These units can easily be paired with our clip-on or standalone generators for a completely off-grid cold storage solution. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal overflow, hosting a festival, or need emergency backup during a breakdown, this 20ft reefer delivers top-notch performance without taking up too much space.
