Where to buy retired reefer units, for storage?

Reefers can heat just as well as they can cool. Ive carried paint at 80 degrees into the worst of the winter at 35 below.

 

The insulation breaks down with age of the reefer trailer, a better bet is to use an insulated shipping container and put that on a trailer.

Also considering that you are going to be creating an uncontrolled envolpe, it may be wise to have consultants come out and look at your plans to makes sure that they fall under the fire codes and regulations of your state and the Feds.

 

Ammunition manufacturers store explosives in old shipping containers placed on the perimeter all the time but I’m sure you need approval from the insurer and various government authorities

 

Many of them Move to Florida.

There is whole communities of them.

 

The Pot Plants need fresh air to help them grow.

 

Look into Ritchie Bros. auctions, thy often have hundreds of trailers at there auctions.

 

These reefer's are not "just" retired. After years of freeze cycles the insulation generally stays moist. Unless you can find a trailer for almost free I would not invest any serious money on one. I have no advice on what to use, however I advise looking into this option very clearly and use lots of time.

 

Insulated iso container would be just the item to make a hot room, no need to remove the running gear, it is already gone and a Landoll can deliver. We are a drop yard for a Canadian carrier, they have reefers and smaller heater units; there could be a zillion ways to make the heat...

 

Heated space for chemicals? Chemicals such as THC? Sounds like a grow operation to me.

 

80 to 90 degrees is in the optimum range for a number of plants to grow. Tomatoes for example.

Container farms are not new, but seem to have gotten alot of attention in the last few years.
A few companies sell turm key packages. Freightfarms is one
