20ft Insulated Reefer Body — Sealed Machinery End
SKU MG-20REEF-ASIS · Held at Johannesburg, Gauteng
A used 20ft refrigerated container offered as an insulated body with the machinery end neatly sealed and panelled over. The refrigeration set is not sold as an operating system, so this unit is priced as an insulated shell rather than a working reefer, but the body itself is sound: straight cladding, intact stainless or aluminium interior lining, closing doors with serviceable gaskets and a wind and water tight envelope. Typical buyers are fabricators building storerooms, drying and curing rooms or workshops that want thermal stability, and operators who plan to fit their own cooling plant into a ready-insulated box. The frame, corner castings and lifting points are sound, so the unit is craned or tilt-bed delivered on standard container equipment. Floor and lining condition is inspected before release and we photograph the specific unit allocated to your order so you know exactly what is coming before it leaves the Midrand yard.

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.
