10ft High Cube Insulated Container (Ex-Reefer)

Here's what this container is, so you know what you're getting. It's a 10-foot steel container that used to be a refrigerated unit, called a reefer. High cube means it stands about a foot taller than a standard box. Outside, it measures roughly 10 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9.5 feet tall. The thick insulation takes several inches off the inside, so usable space is smaller.

What people use it for

Insulated walls keep heat swings down, which helps with goods that hate extremes. Think wine, chocolate, paint, and packaging. Caterers and market traders use them to keep stock tidy between events. Some farms and growers turn them into produce stores, once a cooling unit goes in. Others convert one into a small workshop or office, since the walls are already lined.

The good points

Many ex-reefers have smooth, washable walls, which are easy to wipe down and keep clean. Many also have a floor with raised channels that lets air move underneath stock. The extra height gives you more room to stack boxes or fit racking. Compared with building an insulated store from scratch, it costs far less.

The honest bits

Ex-reefer means the cooling machine has usually been taken out, so it won't make cold by itself. Without a working cooling unit, it only slows heat, and that mix-up causes plenty of returns. Ask whether the unit is still fitted, and if so, whether anyone has tested it. A fitted unit needs a proper power supply, often three-phase, and an electrician to connect it. Check the floor, door seals, and walls for dents, holes, or damp insulation. Also ask about smells, since old produce or chemicals can linger in the lining. Ask whether it's new, one-trip, or used, since that changes price and condition. An empty one weighs a good bit, so it needs a firm, level base. Delivery needs a tilt-bed truck or crane, plus room to maneuver.

If you run a business

If you run a hire firm, catering supplier, or farm shop, insulated boxes sell steadily. Buying through a wholesale distributor usually brings your cost per unit down. You also get straight answers about condition, insulation, and whether a cooling unit is included. Freight is the biggest cost with containers, so ask about it before ordering.

That's all we do really: tell you what we have, ship it, and let you decide.
