What we check before selling a used reefer
Used reefer specifications
Temperature range
Used working reefers hold anywhere from -20°F to +70°F, set on the digital controller. Freezer and chiller duty both run on the same machine.
Power requirements
Our reefers run on single-phase 220/240V, 60 Hz power from a dedicated 240V circuit (50A for standard units, 60A for blast freezers). No 3-phase service or phase converter is needed, and genset-ready options are available for off-grid sites.
Insulation
3–4 inches of closed-cell spray foam insulation in walls, roof and floor, with a stainless or aluminum T-floor for airflow under pallets.
PTI tested
Every used working reefer is pre-trip inspected before it ships and comes with a certificate recording the test results.
