Dimensions, payload, and volume of the 40’HC Reefer container

The 40-foot High Cube container offers exceptionally generous interior space thanks to its increased height. The standard dimensions of this container type ensure compatibility with all common logistics systems and handling equipment.

The external dimensions are approximately 12,192 mm in length, 2,438 mm in width, and 2,896 mm in height. The interior space is approximately 12,032 mm long, 2,352 mm wide, and 2,698 mm high. The additional height compared to a standard container provides valuable extra 30 cm of space, which you will especially appreciate when stacking pallets or transporting bulky goods.

The maximum payload of the container is around 29,600 kg, with an interior volume of approximately 76.3 m³. This means plenty of capacity for transporting large quantities of goods while maintaining optimal temperature conditions. Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly by manufacturer.

Reefer container specifications

The container consists of two parts: the load compartment/container and the refrigeration unit. The container is made of steel construction with thermally insulated sandwich-type walls (polyurethane foam). The walls are 10–12 cm thick. Before delivery, the container is always tested and the cooling function is verified.

Carrier ML-3i PRIME Line unit and temperature range

The heart of every reefer container is its cooling unit. This model is equipped with a top-of-the-line Carrier ML-3i PRIME Line unit, which is among the world’s best in the field of container cooling technology. The unit uses modern R1234yf refrigerant, meeting the latest environmental standards while delivering excellent cooling performance.

The temperature range of the container is impressive – it can be set from -25 °C to +25 °C. This means that in one container you can transport both deeply frozen products and goods that require only mild temperature control, such as chocolate, wine, or ready meals.

Cargo Worthy quality and valid CSC plate

This container is in Cargo Worthy (CW) quality, which means it is fully suitable for international maritime transport. Containers of this quality are designed and tested to meet strict standards for transport and storage. You can be confident that your cargo will be safely protected from external influences – whether it is moisture, dust, pests, or mechanical damage.

A valid CSC plate (Container Safety Convention) confirms that the container has passed regular safety inspections and meets all international requirements for safe transport. This plate is essential for the legal use of the container in international shipping.

For Cargo Worthy quality, we do not guarantee the color of the container. It may come in various color variants, which, however, has no effect on its functionality, leak-tightness, or safety.

40’HC Reefer container: Professional transport of ready meals for stores and supermarkets

When you need to transport fresh ready meals from production to supermarket shelves, every minute and every degree matters. Quality, food safety, and maintaining the temperature chain are an absolute priority. That is precisely why the 40-foot High Cube Reefer container in Cargo Worthy quality is the ideal solution, ready for immediate use without unnecessary delays.

Temperature range that covers everything from frozen to fresh

One of the greatest advantages of this reefer container is its exceptional temperature range from -25 to 25 degrees Celsius. This means you can safely transport:

• Deep-frozen ready meals – frozen pizzas, lasagna, vegetable mixtures, or ready meals intended for microwave defrosting.
• Chilled fresh meals – salads, sandwiches, baguettes, sushi, chilled chelaste pastas, or desserts with a short shelf life.
• Meals requiring stable temperature – dairy products, sauces, soups, or ready meals in vacuum packaging.

The ability to set precisely the temperature required by a particular product range eliminates the risk of spoilage and losses. Whether you transport predominantly frozen goods or products that must remain only slightly chilled, the container can handle it.

Who is this container the ideal choice for

The 40’HC Reefer container will be especially appreciated by:

• Ready meal manufacturers – companies that produce hundreds to thousands of portions daily and need to get them to the distribution network quickly and safely.
• Logistics companies – carriers focused on food logistics looking for reliable equipment for their clients.
• Retail chains and supermarkets – operators that arrange their own collection of ready meals from suppliers and need flexible transport capacity.
• Catering companies – companies providing meals for large events, hospitals, schools, or corporate canteens, where large volumes of food need to be transported at once.

Where it can be used everywhere

This container is suitable practically anywhere temperature-controlled food transport is needed:

• Intercity and long-distance transport – between production facilities and central warehouses of retail chains.
• International logistics – export of ready meals abroad, where the container can handle even multi-day travel.
• Seasonal spikes – Christmas, Easter, or the summer grilling season, when demand for ready meals rises sharply and transport capacity needs to be quickly increased.
• Crisis supply – during production outages in a certain region or extraordinary events, when large quantities of food need to be urgently transported.

Capacity: What fits into a 40-foot High Cube

The High Cube designation means the container is taller than the standard – it offers an interior height of approximately 2.69 meters. The total interior volume is around 76 cubic meters. To give you an idea of what this means in practice:

• Hundreds of crates with ready meals – with standard crate dimensions, you can comfortably load huge quantities of portions.
• Palletized goods – the container can hold up to 20 euro pallets, corresponding to tens of tons of cargo.
• Mix of different products – you can combine frozen and chilled goods, provided logistics and packaging materials allow it.
• Bulky catering equipment – in addition to the meals themselves, you can also transport gastronorm containers, thermal carriers, or other equipment required for meal service.

Thanks to the generous space, you minimize the number of trips and optimize transport costs per portion.

Other uses beyond ready meal logistics

Although the container is excellent for ready meal logistics, its possibilities go far beyond that:

• Mobile cold storage – during the renovation of a permanent cold storage room or during a sudden increase in capacity, you can place the container on the site and use it as temporary storage.
• Seasonal storage of raw materials – fruit, vegetables, dairy products, or meat during harvest or pre-Christmas peak.
• Transport of beverages – chilled lemonade, juices, beer, or wine for retail chains.
• Pharmaceutical logistics – some medicines and medical materials require transport at controlled temperature, which this container reliably ensures.
• Flowers and plants – the chilled space extends the freshness of cut flowers during transport from nurseries to stores.

Tips and advice for maximum use

To get the most out of your container, consider the following tips:

• Plan loading in advance – plan which products will go in which part of the container. Heavier pallets at the bottom, lighter ones on top.
• Use the full height – the High Cube version provides extra space that is worth utilizing. Stackable crates are an ideal choice.
• Combine routes – if you transport ready meals to a supermarket, you can use the return trip to collect packaging or raw materials from suppliers.
• Regular maintenance of the cooling unit – even though the container is in Cargo Worthy quality, regular inspection and cleaning of the cooling system will extend its service life and reliability.
• Staff training – operators should understand temperature settings, seal inspection, and proper cargo distribution for optimal air circulation.

The 40’HC Reefer container in Cargo Worthy quality is a versatile workhorse that offers huge capacity, a wide temperature range, and immediate operational readiness. For the transport of ready meals to stores and supermarkets, it represents an absolutely key component you can rely on. Whether you transport frozen pizzas, fresh salads, or chilled desserts, with this container your cargo will arrive in perfect condition exactly where it should.

Free transport throughout the Czech Republic

The offer includes free transport of the container throughout the Czech Republic. This means that the price you pay for the container is final, and you do not have to worry about any hidden transport charges. For customers outside the Czech Republic, transport must be inquired individually – the price depends on the specific destination and distance.

Loading of the container at the depot is always included in the price, so you do not have to worry about this part of the process. To unload the container at the destination, a crane is required, which the customer arranges themselves. We recommend checking the load capacity and availability of a crane at the unloading site in advance so that the whole process runs smoothly and without complications.

Thanks to its generous volume, wide temperature range, and valid CSC plate, it is ready for immediate use in international transport or as a stationary cold storage.

With free transport throughout the Czech Republic, it is a worthwhile investment in your logistics.
