Refrigerated Conex Containers for Rent: Cold Storage Without a Building

Refrigerated shipping containers as permanent-feeling cold storage you do not have to build.

Updated June 2026 · ColdStorageFinder.com

A refrigerated conex container is a shipping container fitted with a refrigeration unit — the same equipment as a reefer container, described with the "conex" (military-origin) shipping-container term. It gives you walk-in cold storage at ground level without constructing a building.

Sizes and temperature

SizeApprox. capacity
10ftSmall overflow
20ft~10 pallets
40ft~20 pallets

Refrigerated conex containers hold both cooler and freezer ranges. They sit flat on the ground — no dock needed — which suits tight sites and longer placements better than a dock-high trailer.

Container vs trailer

Choose a container for ground-level access and long-term placement; choose a refrigerated trailer for larger capacity and easy relocation. See reefer trailer vs truck vs container, then compare quotes.
