For Commercial & Industrial Hire

20ft Refrigerated Container Hire

Aircon Rentals supplies 20ft refrigerated containers for temporary chilled and frozen storage across Australia. Each unit provides approximately 28.6m³ of temperature-controlled space, with an operating range of -25°C to +25°C, making it suitable for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, event and industrial applications.

The compact 20ft format is well suited to sites where space is limited, including loading docks, car parks and warehouse yards. Units feature a HACCP-friendly stainless steel interior, washable T-bar flooring and a weather-resistant exterior designed for outdoor operation.

20ft refrigerated container hire can support seasonal stock overflow, planned maintenance, events, production requirements and emergency cold-storage needs. Where suitable site power is not available, the unit can also be paired with a compatible generator for a complete temporary refrigeration setup.
