Insulated Containers

Insulated Shipping Containers For Sale

Unlike refrigerated containers, which have a power source and controlled temperature range, insulated containers rely on their insulation properties to maintain a steady temperature throughout. This is an advantage if your goods are being shipped a relatively short distance, when no power is available, or when a regular temperature is all that’s required rather than refrigeration. For instance, pre-cooled cargo from cold storage can be used with an insulated shipping container to maintain a cold chain very successfully on short trips, and many goods don’t even require cooling methods at all – the insulation of the container itself is enough to keep the goods in perfect condition. Insulated shipping containers are also increasingly being used for storage and accommodation as well.

Types of Insulated Shipping Containers Available

Our insulated containers include:

Non-Operational (NOR) Refrigerated Containers

These are decommissioned refrigerated containers, which means the powered cooling equipment is no longer operational, but all the heavy-duty insulation of a refrigerated container still exists.

Insulated Purpose-Built Shipping Containers

These purpose-built insulated containers are designed for goods that don’t need to be refrigerated but require a steady temperature. We can insulate a standard container with 50mm Bondor paneling to regulate outside temperatures. Additionally, we can install a wall-mounted air conditioner to enhance comfort, for example, if the container is used as an office.

Insulated Shipping Container Sizes

We offer 20-foot and 40-foot insulated shipping containers for sale.

The Perfect Container for Storage

Insulated shipping containers aren’t just for transporting things. They are also useful when your goods need to be stored securely with no temperature fluctuations. Cars, leather lounges, wine, books, documents, and fabric items in long-term storage will all benefit from the steady temperature that an insulated shipping container provides. Ventilation can also be required for these sorts of items, a modification that can easily be done upon request.

Insulation for Container Homes, Offices, and Sheds

Shipping containers are made of strong, sturdy steel, designed for the rigors of long sea voyages in all sorts of weather. Steel is known for its strength, but it’s also renowned for its conduction properties – just ask anyone who has tried to use an uninsulated shipping container to live in. If it’s cold outside, it will be arctic inside. And if it’s hot outside, the inside will be like an oven!

If you are building a shipping container home, or planning on using it for an office or shed, insulation is an essential addition to your container. Depending on your needs, a general-purpose shipping container can be purchased and then insulated to your requirements (either by you or us) or you can choose a shipping container that is already insulated. There are many ways to insulate a shipping container, so for more details, give us a call on 1300 957 709 and we can help you decide what’s best for you, given your particular circumstances.

Container Accessories and Customizations

We offer a full range of accessories to ensure that the container you choose is perfect for your needs. Doors, windows, paint, signage, ramps, shelving, vents, whirlybirds, workbenches, electrical and phone fit-outs, lighting, air-conditioning, kitchenettes, and bathrooms can all be arranged easily and quickly. And of course, we are only too happy to customize your insulated shipping containers to whatever specific need you may have.

Remember, a shipping container is completely portable, so you can move it to your next site or operation whenever it’s required. This is an incredibly convenient way to easily transport a site office, lunchroom, first aid room, switch room, or site accommodation with minimum disruption and cost.
