20ft Container Bar – Standard Height, Cooler Room, CoolBot HVAC, Hydraulic Windows (New)

Description

The 20ft Container Bar from Big Bear Containers is a heavy-duty, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.

This 20ft shipping container bar is a fully equipped, commercial-grade beverage service unit built on a new or refurbished 20ft standard height steel container base — the most comprehensively specified bar unit in our range, including an insulated walk-in cooler room, CoolBot-controlled HVAC system, three hydraulic lift concession windows, a full 125-amp electrical installation, and six serving counter surfaces as standard inclusions. It is distinguished from our 20ft Container Shop and 20ft Container Store by the integrated cold storage room — making this unit the appropriate choice for draught beer, bottled beverage, perishable food, and cold storage operations where consistent temperature control is a trading requirement.

The insulated cooler room occupies 4ft × 7ft × 7ft of the container’s interior, finished in fully washable food-safe metal surfaces and maintained between 38°F and 65°F by a 1-ton HVAC system with CoolBot technology. CoolBot is a proprietary controller that converts a standard air conditioning unit into a precision walk-in cooler controller, providing commercial cold storage performance at a lower equipment cost than a dedicated refrigeration compressor. The cooler room is lit by a dedicated 4ft vapor-tight commercial cooler light for safe interior visibility in a wet cold environment.

Customer service is provided through three hydraulic lift concession windows — two standard 5ft × 3.5ft windows and one larger 5ft × 4ft window — all opening upward on hydraulic supports for effortless one-person operation and secure propped-open positioning during service. Beneath each exterior window, a countertop serving table provides a bar-height customer-facing surface. Two additional interior counter surfaces at the window service stations and one counter adjacent to the sink complete the six-surface layout for POS, prep, display, and service workflow.

The portable stainless steel hand sink cart is deck-mounted and fully mobile — it is not a plumbed-in fixed fixture. Mains water connection for full food service health code compliance must be arranged on site. The listing notes this unit is compliant with food service standards when paired with local plumbing hookups — confirm your local health authority’s requirements before trading. The electrical system is completed to a 125-amp 12-slot breaker panel with metal conduit wiring throughout for commercial safety compliance, 6 × 110V interior duplex outlets, 1 × 110V exterior outlet, and 2 × 4ft commercial lights in the serving area. The unit is forklift-pocket and crane-lift compatible for transport and positioning. For guidance on food and beverage service compliance in the USA, refer to the FDA Food Code reference and confirm requirements with your local health authority.

• Pop-up shops, bars and cafes
• Festival and market concession units
• Branded retail and food outlets

Construction & Durability

This 20ft converted unit uses factory-fresh one-trip steel over a welded steel underframe with cross-members on close centers, which is why the floor takes forklift traffic without deflecting. The roof is a single corrugated sheet — no seams across the span to leak.

Delivery & Site Preparation

The 20ft converted unit goes out on a free tilt-bed run with delivery windows confirmed ahead of the date. Allow about 75ft of clear, straight approach so the bed can tilt and slide the unit off. Gravel over compacted base is the cheapest pad that actually works; bare soil will pull moisture and settle unevenly through a wet season.

Why Buy From Big Bear Containers
