Product description
20FT Mobile Cold Storage Container – Freezer/Cooler Model
This mobile cold storage unit provides a flexible solution for temperature-controlled environments. It is constructed from a modified 20-foot shipping container, integrating a heavy-duty refrigeration system for use as a freezer or cooler. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, this unit offers a durable, self-contained environment for preserving perishable goods . The container is built to function independently, requiring only connection to an appropriate power source to begin operation .
-
Dual-Purpose Temperature Control: This model operates across a wide temperature range, configurable for frozen storage or refrigerated cooling. Settings are typically adjustable between -18°C (0°F) and +4°C (39°F), accommodating a variety of product requirements .
-
Durable Construction: The exterior is built from corrugated steel, designed to withstand outdoor conditions and transportation handling . The interior is constructed with materials that facilitate cleaning and sanitation.
-
Insulated Enclosure: High-density polyurethane insulation is used in the walls, floor, and ceiling to maintain internal temperatures efficiently and reduce energy consumption .
-
Self-Contained Refrigeration Unit: A pre-installed, ready-to-run refrigeration system is mounted to the unit . It uses an environmentally conscious refrigerant such as R404A or equivalent .
-
Integrated Monitoring: A digital control panel allows for precise temperature adjustments and real-time internal monitoring .
This mobile cold storage unit is a converted 20-foot ISO shipping container. It is fitted with a commercial-grade, self-contained refrigeration system. The unit is manufactured to provide supplemental冷藏 or frozen storage capacity where permanent infrastructure is not available or practical .
The refrigeration system is designed for consistent performance in ambient temperatures. It utilizes a hermetic or semi-hermetic compressor to ensure reliable cooling cycles. Air circulation inside the container is managed by strategically placed evaporators to ensure uniform temperature distribution throughout the interior space . The digital controller provides an accurate readout of the internal environment, and settings can be adjusted to meet specific storage needs .
Durability is a key consideration in the design. The exterior shell retains the structural integrity of a standard shipping container, making it stackable and transportable. The interior lining is selected for hygiene and ease of maintenance. As a result, this unit offers a practical solution for temporary or permanent capacity expansion across various industries.
