20ft New One-Trip Refrigerated (Reefer) Shipping Container
1. Product Description
Item Title: 20ft New One-Trip Refrigerated Shipping Container (Reefer) – High-Precision Portable Cold Storage
The Gold Standard in On-Demand Refrigeration and Freezing The 20ft New One-Trip Refrigerated Container (often called a One-Trip Reefer) is the premier solution for businesses requiring hospital-grade thermal precision and industrial reliability. Unlike used units that have been in the shipping fleet for a decade, these units are manufactured in Asia and shipped with exactly one load of dry cargo to their destination to offset transport costs. This ensures you receive a unit in near-pristine condition with original factory paint and a cooling plant with minimal run hours.
Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel or aluminum outer skin and a high-density polyurethane foam sandwich core, this unit functions as a high-performance thermal vault. It is equipped with world-class machinery from brands like Carrier, Thermo King, or Daikin, capable of holding temperatures from deep freeze to controlled chill. Whether you are managing seasonal overflow for a restaurant, storing temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, or operating a mobile distribution hub, the 20ft One-Trip Reefer offers unmatched durability and precision in a compact 20-foot footprint.

⚠️ NOTICE: These units require industrial-grade power and are not compatible with standard household outlets.
Standard Power: Operates on 460V AC, 3-Phase, 60 Hz (standard US/Maritime).
Dual Voltage Option: Some units are dual-voltage capable of running on 230V 3-Phase, but this requires a dedicated 50 Amp circuit.
Transformer Needs: If your site only has 208V/240V 3-phase power, a step-up transformer is required to reach the 460V operating threshold.
Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI): Although "One-Trip" units are like new, they are dispatched with a fresh PTI Passed Report, ensuring all fans, compressors, and sensors are in 100% working order.
Refrigerant: Typically uses R-134a or R-404a industrial refrigerants.
