Technical Specification: 40ft High Cube (HC) Non-Working Refrigerated Container
Status: Used / Non-Working (Insulated Box Only)
1. Product Overview
A "Non-Working Reefer" is a refrigerated container where the cooling machinery is either decommissioned or non-functional. For many industries, these units represent the ultimate value in passive insulation.
Because they are built to maintain sub-zero temperatures, the insulation quality is significantly higher than a standard "Dry" shipping container. At Worthy Container, we ensure these shells remain structurally sound, providing a vermin-proof, mold-resistant, and thermally stable environment for goods that do not require active refrigeration but must stay cool or protected from external heat.
