Available for hire across Australia through United Rentals, these units deliver dependable cold storage for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive goods. With its larger footprint and optimised internal layout, the 40ft pallet-wide refrigerated container is well suited to operations requiring reliable refrigeration and efficient pallet handling across logistics, industrial, and commercial environments.

  • Reliable temperature control
  • Large-capacity cold storage
  • Internal safety exit system

Features

The 40ft pallet-wide refrigerated container is designed for businesses that require both temperature-controlled storage and efficient pallet handling. By increasing the internal width compared with standard refrigerated containers, the pallet-wide format allows two Australian pallets to sit side-by-side, improving storage efficiency and reducing wasted internal space.  

Royal Wolf refrigerated containers use Carrier refrigeration technology to deliver superior temperature control across a wide range of storage applications. The system maintains precise temperatures for temperature-controlled storage of goods across the cold chain. It helps preserve quality and safety for food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive items. 

These insulated containers feature a durable metal interior designed for hygiene and easy cleaning. The insulated container construction includes a reverse T-bar floor with a 1200mm reinforced section at the end door. Four floor drains support washdown, side wall lashing rings help secure loads, and plastic curtains on the inside of the rear door help maintain temperature when the container is open.  

Operational efficiency is also a key design feature. Refrigerated containers are engineered for superior temperature control and effective cooling performance while maintaining energy efficiency. 

The container design incorporates safety systems. Safety features include two internal lights, an internal alarm, an external warning light, an audible alarm, a brass bell emergency alert in the right door, and an emergency hatch. All these features can be operated from inside the container. 

The result is a portable cold storage solution that combines reliable refrigeration performance with improved pallet storage capacity.

40ft Pallet-Wide Refrigerated Container FAQs

What is a pallet-wide refrigerated container?

A pallet-wide refrigerated container is designed with additional internal width to allow two Australian standard pallets to be stored side-by-side.

What can this container store?

These containers are used for temperature-sensitive goods such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other chilled or frozen products.

Does the container require power?

Can pallet-wide refrigerated containers be used temporarily?

Yes. They are commonly used for temporary cold storage during events, seasonal demand or warehouse overflow.

Are safety features included?

Our refrigerated containers include internal alarms, warning lights and emergency exit systems for safe operation. Pallet-wide refrigerated containers are available in a range of container sizes including 20ft and 40ft configurations.

Can I hire or buy a 40ft pallet-wide refrigerated container?

Of course. United Rentals offers refrigerated containers for hire on flexible short-term or long-term storage arrangements. Used container sales are also available for buying outright. Whether hiring or buying, the United Rentals team can advise on the container solutions that best meets your specific requirements from the available container sizes and configurations.  

What power supply does a 40ft pallet-wide refrigerated container require?

Three-phase refrigeration units require 32 Amps / 415V with an 18m 4-pin power cord. This makes them suitable for industrial sites and large-scale cold storage operations. Speak to the United Rentals team about power requirements before delivery.  

What temperature range can a pallet-wide refrigerated container maintain?

Pallet-wide refrigerated containers can typically operate between -30°C and +30°C depending on configuration. Speak to the United Rentals team about the temperature range required for your specific cold storage application. 

How does a reefer container differ from a cool room hire?

A reefer container is a self-contained 40ft refrigerated shipping container. It provides portable cool storage that can be delivered directly to your site, which makes it a flexible alternative to fixed cool room hire. The 40ft pallet-wide reefer container offers the additional advantage of side-by-side pallet storage for bulk cold storage applications.
