20ft Cold Storage ThinLINE Containers
ABOUT THE 20FT THINLINE
The Industry Standard
The popularity of the ThinLINE unit is associated with its simplicity and durability, and proven familiarity to end users and service centers performing maintenance and repairs.
Perfect for temperatures in the range of -20°F to +70°F.
Carrier ThinLINE is the industry standard for balanced system design for container refrigeration bringing you exceptional operating efficiency, precise intelligent electronic control, and field proven reliability.
A 20ft refrigerated container, also known as a reefer container, is a versatile and portable cold storage unit. It’s ideal for storing or transporting temperature-sensitive items like food, pharmaceuticals, or flowers.
- The ThinLINE is equipped with Carrier’s 06D semi hermetic compressor.
- Proven reliability has made Carrier’s non-ozone depleting HFC-R134a 06D compressor the workhorse of the industry.
- Designed to handle the rigors of container refrigeration, the 06D has become the standard throughout the container industry.

The Truck
The 20ft New Standard Refrigerated ISO Container is delivered using a 30 ft tilt bed truck. This delivery method requires 30 ft plus 20 ft the length of the container, so 50 ft in total.
Door Direction
When placing your order, know the direction you want the container doors to face at your location. This determines whether we load the container ‘doors to the cab’ or ‘doors to the rear’ of the truck. On delivery day, our driver will back up to the location you’ve chosen and slide the container onto the ground.
Prepare The Ground
In order for our delivery truck to not to get stuck, the ground needs to be compact and dry leading up to the drop location. Muddy roads are not suitable for a tilt bed truck, or pickup truck with tilt bed trailer to drive on. The driver will also need 30 ft of width for any turns they may need to make. If your location is already dry, compact, and level then you’re ready to go. If not, a common solution is laying down gravel, cement or pavement. To ensure the container is level, support all four corners with wood blocks.
Removal of obstructions
In addition to the container drop location, make sure to prepare the entire delivery site for the driver. Remove any obstacles in the way that would prevent the truck from reaching the delivery location including; tree branches, low power lines, overhangs etc. If there are any obstacles or issues you would like to bring to our attention please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team prior to delivery.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS A COOLING UNIT AND WHAT TYPES AND MANUFACTURERS ARE THERE?
The refrigeration unit is the heart of the reefer, and there are different manufacturers and models that have a certain performance and properties. Known manufacturers include Carrier Transicold, Thermo King, Daikin and Starcool.
We will advise you in detail about finding the optimal machine.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE CONNECTION / ELECTRICITY CONNECTION OF THE REEFER?
WHAT IS THE ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION / ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A REEFER CONTAINER?
An exact number for the power consumption is hard to summarize because there are many different factors affecting the cooling unit such as the nature and condition of the stored goods (i.e. frozen or fresh), outside temperature as well as how often the container doors are opened and closed. Furthermore, the age and model of the cooling unit also play a role. In general, it can be assumed that newer models are more efficient and thus much more economical than models of the older generation.
HOW LOUD IS THE SOUND AND ACOUSTIC LEVEL OF A REEFER IN DB?
In general, it depends on the temperature and the type of machine being used.
Is salt considered environmentally friendly?
Yes – we only use salt that is at least 10% enviro-salt. This is good for longer lasting traction and will be gentle on decorative concrete.
