20ft Controlled Atmosphere Reefer
SKU MG-20REEF-CA · Held at Johannesburg, Gauteng
A 20ft refrigerated container fitted with controlled atmosphere gas management, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to be held at recipe values alongside temperature so that avocados, berries, apples and cut vegetables hold condition far longer than in a plain chiller. The control cabinet and sampling lines sit alongside the machinery end and have been leak-tested and calibrated at our Midrand depot. Interior is hygienic white panelling on an aluminium T-bar floor, and the body remains a standard ISO 20ft unit that lifts and travels normally. Sold in sound used condition with a service report. Requires a 380 V three-phase supply. Delivered nationwide with freight rated per kilometre, or collect free from the depot.
- Physically held and graded at our depot before listing
- Documentation pack issued with every delivery
- Delivered freight quoted to your postal code
- Net 30 terms available on approved trade accounts
The shell is fabricated from Corten A weathering steel — a copper, chromium and nickel alloy that forms a tightly adherent oxide layer instead of the flaking scale you get on mild steel. That patina slows further corrosion, which is why a 25-year-old box can still be structurally sound while a painted mild-steel shed of the same age has perforated.
Side and end panels are 14-gauge (2.0mm) corrugated sheet welded to a rigid frame of rolled top and bottom rails with cast steel corner fittings on the ISO 1161 pattern. Roof panels are 2.0mm with an arch profile that shifts standing water toward the eaves. Flooring is 28mm marine-grade plywood over steel cross-members on nominal 300mm centres, rated for a 7 260 kg forklift axle load.
Expect surface oxidation on used grades: it is cosmetic. We reject units with through-plate pitting, cracked welds at the corner posts, or bowed rails, because those defects affect stacking strength and cannot be repaired economically in the field.
