A 10-foot thermal container (insulated container) is a compact, standardized, thermally insulated module that operates on the "thermos" principle, slowing heat exchange with the environment and helping to maintain cargo temperature for longer periods.
Unlike a 10-foot reefer container, the compact 10-foot thermal container is not equipped with a refrigeration unit. This equipment is intended for products whose temperature needs to be maintained for a limited time.
10-Foot Thermal Container: Technical Specifications
The 10-foot thermal container is available in two modifications: Standard and High Cube. The High Cube is 30 cm taller than the Standard and offers greater internal volume.

The 10-foot insulated container is structurally composed of a sturdy steel frame, exterior cladding made of industrial stainless steel, interior lining made of food-grade stainless steel or aluminum, a polyurethane foam insulation layer up to 100 mm thick, and sealed swing doors with EPDM gaskets.
The thermal container can be used for transporting and storing vegetables, fruits, dairy products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, household chemicals, perfumes, and other goods. The 10-foot model is suitable for small batches of products. If greater internal volume is required, consider the 20-foot thermal container.
