40ft Refrigerated Shipping Container Hire  

Our 40ft refrigerated containers for hire provide high-capacity, secure cold storage across Great Britain. Also known as reefer containers, they can be rented from just £17 per day (minimum hire 90 days), offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative to permanent storage facilities. Commissioning, delivery, and collection are added to your quote and depend on location. 

Built for businesses with large-scale storage requirements, these temperature-controlled containers maintain precise conditions between -25°C and +25°C. From bulk food distribution to pharmaceutical stock and event catering, they deliver dependable cold storage for industries where product integrity is critical. 

Why Hire a 40ft Refrigerated Container? 

A 40ft refrigerated shipping container is the largest standard reefer unit available, making it the ideal choice when you need maximum capacity.

With almost double the storage space of a 20ft unit, it’s designed for organisations handling large palletised loads, wholesale supplies, or continuous stock rotation. 

Hiring instead of purchasing provides flexibility without the upfront investment. Whether you need extra space during peak demand, a scalable solution for seasonal surges, or long-term additional storage, 40ft reefer hire gives you room to grow while keeping your products safe.

Benefits include: 

  • Flexible contracts for short- or long-term hire 
  • All units commissioned by expert refrigeration service engineers 
  • Trusted by industries nationwide for food, medical, and event storage 
  • Fast delivery across Great Britain from our local depots 

From just £17 per day
