Commercial Grade Cold Storage: 20' Standard Used 3 Phase Reefer
When perishable goods, floral arrangements, pharmaceuticals, or bulk ingredients require strict temperature control, relying on residential cooling or temporary ice setups is not an option. Commercial cold storage demands industrial-grade cooling power capable of maintaining deep freezes or steady refrigeration regardless of external heat waves.
A 20' standard used 3 phase reefer delivers heavy-duty commercial cooling in a compact footprint. Engineered with three-phase power systems (typically 208V/230V or 460V), these reefer units deliver rapid pull-down times and precise temperature control for cold chain logistics and on-site storage.
What Is a 20' Standard Used 3 Phase Reefer?
A 20' standard used 3 phase reefer is an 8'6" standard-height refrigerated shipping container retired from ocean freight service. Powered by industrial cooling machinery (such as Carrier, Thermo King, or Daikin digital scroll compressors), these units operate on three-phase electrical connections to run efficiently under heavy refrigeration loads.
Despite previous maritime service, used units are thoroughly inspected and serviced to ensure they remain fully operational, maintaining temperatures anywhere from -20°F to +70°F (-29°C to +21°C).

Key Benefits of a 20' Standard Used 3 Phase Reefer
1. Powerful Three-Phase Cooling Efficiency
Three-phase electrical systems deliver continuous, balanced power to the compressor motor. This enables a 20' standard used 3 phase reefer to handle heavy thermal loads, recover quickly after door openings, and maintain uniform cooling while using power efficiently.
2. Compact Footprint with Commercial Capacity
At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, this unit easily fits inside a single standard parking space, commercial loading dock, or side yard. It provides approximately 1,000 cubic feet of temperature-controlled storage without overwhelming your property footprint.
3. Food-Grade Hygienic Interior
The internal walls and ceilings are lined with smooth, rust-proof stainless steel or aluminum panels. Combined with an aluminum T-bar floor designed for bottom-up cold airflow, the interior is simple to pressure-wash, sanitize, and keep compliant with health regulations.
4. Cost-Effective Alternative to Permanent Buildouts
Constructing a permanent walk-in freezer or cooler requires expensive permits, extensive construction, and fixed real estate. A used three-phase reefer offers a plug-and-play, portable alternative at a fraction of the cost.
Popular Applications Across Industries
-
Restaurants & Food Distributors: Provides overflow freezer and cooler space during peak seasons, holidays, and large events.
-
Agriculture & Wineries: Chills freshly harvested produce, berries, grapes, and floral stock directly at the farm.
-
Biotech & Pharmaceuticals: Stores temperature-sensitive medical supplies, vaccines, and chemical compounds within strict thermal ranges.
Essential Site Prep and Electrical Guidelines
-
Verify Electrical Capabilities: Ensure your site has dedicated 3-phase power (208V/230V or 460V) with appropriate breaker amperage and a qualified electrician to complete hookups.
-
Level Surface Placement: Position the unit on concrete, asphalt, or packed gravel piers to ensure heavy insulated doors align and seal properly.
-
Airflow Clearance: Maintain at least 3 to 5 feet of clear space around the exterior cooling compressor unit to allow proper heat dissipation.
