20-foot thermal container is a versatile transport module with reinforced thermal insulation, approximately six meters in length, designed for the transportation and storage of goods sensitive to temperature fluctuations. This type of cargo container combines sufficient capacity, ease of placement, and optimal purchase and operating costs.
Unlike a 20-foot refrigerated container, a 20-foot insulated container is not equipped with a refrigeration unit; instead, it functions as a "thermos," providing protection against heat and cold, and maintaining the temperature of pre-cooled or pre-heated cargo through polyurethane foam insulation.
