40FT High Cube Used Insulated Shipping Container
Food-Safe. Weather-Resistant. Efficiently Insulated.
The 40FT High Cube Used Insulated Shipping Container is engineered for applications requiring temperature consistency, cleanable surfaces, and secure structural performance. Designed with an aluminum exterior and a fully insulated stainless-steel interior, this container is ideal for dry cold storage, food handling, or storing temperature-sensitive equipment and materials.
This unit includes a non-functional refrigeration system, which now serves exclusively as insulation support. Containers are cargo-worthy, wind and water tight, and inspected to confirm compliance with structural and functional standards. External wear is minimal and strictly cosmetic.

Stainless steel interiors resist mold and bacteria, suitable for cold chain logistics or dry food-grade use.
-
Aluminum exterior offers corrosion resistance in harsh weather conditions and extreme climate zones.
-
Reinforced flooring supports forklifts, heavy pallets, or equipment loads without warping or degradation.
-
Decommissioned cooling unit provides passive insulation without active refrigeration – reduces energy needs and simplifies operation.
-
Double doors retain their full sealing capability with gasket systems tested during inspection.
Ideal Applications
Dry Cold Storage
Maintains cooler internal conditions when exposed to fluctuating external temperatures. Appropriate for warehouse overflow, retail stockpiles, or transit staging.
Food Processing & Prep Zones
Meets hygienic standards for handling packaged goods, sealed produce, or dry perishable items.
Pharmaceutical & Equipment Housing
Protects thermally sensitive materials or calibration equipment on fixed sites.
Agricultural Post-Harvest Storage
Useful for holding temperature-sensitive agricultural inputs or temporarily staging produce awaiting cold-chain pickup.
On-Site Conversion Units
Can serve as a cleanable prep station or modular shell for customized mobile storage or lab conversions.
Inspection & Condition Disclosure
All units are visually and physically inspected prior to listing. Assessment covers:
-
Structural integrity of walls, roof, and floor
-
Interior insulation condition and wall seal tightness
-
Door gasket functionality and locking system
-
Floor load-bearing capability
-
Verification that cooling unit is non-operational and sealed safely
Minor dents and external surface wear are considered cosmetic and do not impact cargo-worthiness or water-tight performance.
