40ft High Cube Reefer Container

40ft High Cube Reefer Containers give you more space than a standard reefer. They are taller, letting you store more lightweight, bulky goods that need to stay cold.

---

Main Difference: It’s one foot taller than a standard reefer.

---

You get 15-20% more storage space inside. This is perfect for goods that are light but take up a lot of room.

Best for:

• Packaged salads and leafy greens

• Cut flowers and plants

• Potato chips, cereals, and snacks

• Light medical supplies

• Anything where you need more room, not more weight capacity.

Not ideal for:

• Very heavy, dense products like frozen meat blocks.

• Places with low doorways or wires overhead.

---

The Cooling Unit: It’s as powerful as a standard reefer, but has to cool a larger space. It keeps the same temperature range: -30°C to +30°C (-22°F to 86°F).

Power: Needs standard 3-phase power, just like any reefer.

Loading: You must leave an air gap at the top for cold air to circulate. Load pallets evenly and don’t block the ceiling vents.

1. Can the cooling system handle the extra height?

2. What is the exact inside height?

3. Do you have the equipment to deliver a taller container?

4. Is there any damage or soft spots in the ceiling?

5. Does it come with a short-term performance guarantee?

Get a High Cube if: You often ship light, bulky items like flowers or packaged foods. The extra space will save you money on trips.

Get a Standard Reefer if: You ship heavy goods or have height limits on your property. It costs less and does the same job for dense cargo.
