That’s when our freezer shipping container comes in handy!

New, Used, or Refurbished Refrigerated Shipping Containers
Conexwest offers new, used, or refurbished refrigeration units. Each cold storage container is tested to match quality standards.
- NEW "One Trip" refrigerated units are shipped from Asia with a single container cargo load. These containers are referred to as “new” or in “like new” condition. Once the container reaches its destination they are often available for sale.
These containers are an excellent choice because they have not spent time deteriorating on the ocean or in container depots/terminals. One-trip containers are ideal if appearance, longevity, and reliability are top priorities. As an option, we offer used cargo-worthy products.
- USED "Cargo Worthy" refrigeration units are most common in the cold storage market. They are usually ten to fifteen years old. However, they all pass ten stages of pre-trip inspection. Conexwest does make sure that all used refrigeration units match cargo-worthy quality standards.
- REFURBISHED cool containers are used as cold storage containers with new paint and primer. We clean all (if any) rust spots and apply two coats of primer and two coats of white color water-based paint.
The container looks brand new, while the machinery and all the electrical components pass a ten-stage pre-trip inspection to last you several trouble-free years of service.
- Conexwest Container Warranty
Each one of our units is durable, secure, and weatherproof. The warranty coverage period for new ISO cold storage refrigerated containers is 5 years on machinery and 10 years on the shell from the date of purchase from the manufacturer. Container leakproof guarantee included. During the warranty period, Conexwest will repair, using new or refurbished replacement parts, or replace the whole unit or parts of it at no charge. The product must prove defective because of improper material or workmanship, under normal use and verifications.
