Description
Used 40ft Refrigerated Shipping Container with Custom Side Door for Sale
This used 40ft refrigerated shipping container is a reliable, well-maintained cold-storage unit built for farms, food service, and commercial operations that need steady refrigeration day in and day out. Originally purchased from Thermo King in Salinas, it spent nine years as a working farm’s walk-in cooler for produce, operated daily and regularly serviced. Now available for its next owner, it is guaranteed to be in working condition.
A Standout Side-Access Door
The most useful modification on this reefer is a custom-installed side access door. Rather than swinging open the large end doors every time you enter, you step through the side, which preserves interior temperature, speeds up loading, and makes daily walk-in use far more practical. For a busy cooler that gets opened many times a day, that feature alone saves energy and effort.
Proven in Daily Farm Use
The refrigeration system is a newer used Thermo King unit installed five years ago, so the cooling machinery is considerably younger than the container itself. It ran as a daily walk-in cooler for farm produce and was unplugged in August of last year, fully functional at the time of disconnection. Its long, documented service history speaks to a unit that was maintained rather than neglected.

When buying a used reefer, weigh the age of the refrigeration unit against the container itself; here the cooling system is relatively recent, which is a real plus. Confirm you can supply three-phase power at your site, and set the unit on a level, well-drained pad so the doors and side access seal correctly. A 40ft container needs adequate delivery clearance, so plan your access route.
