The 40′ or 12m HC ex-reefer, i.e. decommissioned former refrigerated container, is an excellent solution as an insulated container when you need a container that withstands moisture and heavy use. These containers are former reefer containers used for freight transport, with the refrigeration unit replaced by insulated sandwich panels.
The 40′ HC EX Reefer is an excellent alternative when you need a thermally insulated container. Originally designed for temperature-regulated freight transport, these containers have had their refrigeration units removed and replaced with sandwich panels, transforming them into versatile, thermally insulated storage solutions. The containers are insulated on all sides with strong 40-80mm urethane insulation, ensuring good thermal properties for year-round use without condensation problems. The interior surfaces of EX reefers are made of stainless steel and aluminum, which makes them resistant to moisture and heavy use, and easy to clean with e.g. a high-pressure washer. All our 40′ EX reefer containers are of the raised HC type, with the ceiling approximately 30cm higher than the basic model.
The containers come standard with a T-grate floor, allowing water to drain out through outlets near the doors and corners, preventing water accumulation on the floor. We can also equip all ex reefers with a flat floor, making them ideal for use with trolleys and other equipment. The end of the container has standard lockable double doors. We repaint all containers with white color by default but you can also request any exterior color you wish for your container. Lighting, heating, inlets, and shelves are also available as optional accessories. This container is also an excellent base for a custom project container, and works like magic e.g. as a CUSTOM WELDING BOOTH.
The containers are suitable for international transport (CSC) and their dimensions meet the relevant ISO standards.

Every time a container, whether it is a container for lease or sale, is moved around a depot, it requires a lift. The handling fee is a one-time cost that covers moving the container around in the depot areas. The fee is only applicable when you lease a container or have a one-way deal with us. We never charge you a handling fee when you buy a container outright, so there are no hidden costs.
It does not matter if you buy or lease a container; MC Containers can deliver it to you. We use a variety of container delivery methods, including the following container trucking methods:
Chassis delivery means that your new, used or modified container will be delivered to the destination on a container chassis. However, this service does not include removing it from the chassis. If you decide to buy a container, it is your responsibility to organize a crane or another piece of machinery to offload it. This is the most common container delivery method in Europe due to the better availability of trucks and cost effective rates.
On Ground Deliveries are done with a truck that can drop the container to the ground with it’s own equipment. Normally, the container delivery is done using a side loader or a truck equipped with a crane. The standard delivery price includes 30-45 min of unloading time per container and any extra time is billed at an hourly rate. If you don’t have a crane available or cannot organize one then this is the best and only option for you.
FOT DEPOT means Free on Truck in depot. With this container delivery method, the buyer is responsible for organizing a pickup from the chosen container depot. The seller will organize a lift to the chassis in the container depot, so you will not need a crane or side loader for the pickup.
Would you like to buy a container, but the price is just too much for your budget to pay in one payment? No worries, together with our partner we offer a flexible financial container lease service. We offer our clients the possibility of buying containers through a financial lease plan. This enables fast delivery with little capital investment. This payment type is only possible for clients with a European VAT ID.
Requirements
To order a shipping container through our lease plan service, the minimum order must be at least 500€, and the person leasing must have a European VAT number.
Shipping containers are made of corten steel. This sturdy material enables them to withstand extreme circumstances (wind, water, fire, ice, salt, sun) and any possible rough handling. A shipping container is used from 5-14 years for shipping; after this, they are released and used for other purposes, such as storage containers or modified container units for food and offices.
Containers that are not used for shipping are perfectly suitable to be used as storage containers. If taken care of, a used shipping container can be used for storage up to 10 years. It is also possible to extend the storage container’s use by regular maintenance, such as, painting, patching holes, changing seals, fixing the floor and taking care of or changing twist locks.
New shipping containers are usually brought to Europe from China. A new container can last anywhere up to 30 years when used as storage as long as it is looked after properly.
