The prices of refrigerated containers (reefer containers), the backbone of cold chain logistics, vary depending on many factors. As of 2025, global supply chain dynamics and raw material costs directly impact these prices.
Key Factors Determining Prices
- Condition (New vs Used): There is a significant price difference between a brand new unit and a 10-year-old unit.
- Size: 20 feet standard, 40 feet standard, and 40 feet High Cube (HC) models are priced differently.
- Refrigeration Unit Brand: Brands like Carrier, Daikin, ThermoKing, or StarCool have different price and performance curves.
- Year of Manufacture (PTI History): For used purchases, the year of manufacture and having passed a successful PTI (Pre-Trip Inspection) test affect the price.
New or Used?
New refrigerated containers offer long-term warranties and the latest energy efficiency technologies, but have high initial costs. Used refrigerated container prices are much more affordable and, when regularly maintained, can reliably serve for many years.
The most important criterion when buying a used refrigerated container is that it has a current PTI report from an independent technical service.
