Construction & Durability
This 40ft refrigerated 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 40ft refrigerated unit goes out on a free tilt-bed run with delivery windows confirmed ahead of the date. A 40ft-class unit needs roughly 100ft of straight approach for the truck to back in and tilt. Gravel over compacted base is the cheapest pad that actually works; bare soil will pull moisture and settle unevenly through a wet season.
