10ft Refrigerated Container For Sale
A 10ft refrigerated container (reefer) is the smallest ISO-compliant temperature-controlled shipping container available in Australia. It is the ideal solution when you need cold or frozen storage in tight spaces where a standard 20ft container will not fit.
At Prime Trailers Australia, we offer both new and used 10ft reefer containers for sale. With over 26 years of experience serving Australian businesses and homeowners, we provide reliable, tested, and warrantied refrigeration equipment suitable for events, farms, breweries, catering companies, food storage, pharmaceutical needs, and more.
Our 10ft reefers can maintain internal temperatures from as low as -40°C up to +30°C, depending on the model and refrigeration unit. They are portable, secure, and easy to clean.
