Reefer trailers keep product cold and on spec from dock to dock. What matters most is how you run: single temp or multi-temp lanes, how low you need to hold (ice cream vs produce), and whether you care more about fuel burn or fast pull-down. Most over-the-road buyers land on 53 ft, tandem, air ride, with an aluminum duct or heavy-duty duct floor to keep air moving evenly under the load. Match the unit to your freight: a modern Thermo King or Carrier single-temp is the workhorse for national produce and protein lanes, and multi-temp with bulkheads makes sense if you split frozen/chilled or run milk-run stops. If you're turning docks all day, spec a roll-up door for speed; if you need max seal and cube, go swing doors. Insulation and door seals do more for real-world temperature control than most people think—if the box leaks, the unit just burns fuel trying to keep up. If you're shopping used, look at unit hours and service history, check the box for light leaks, feel the door gaskets, and make sure the floor isn't beat flat where the air needs to flow. For new buyers, decide on single vs multi-temp first, then pick the floor, door style, and the aero you want. After that it's fuel tank size, side skirts, and little options that make your crews' days easier.

Reefer Buyer's Guide & Specs

If you haul food or pharma, temperature control is everything. Pick your unit around what you ship and how you run. National and regional produce lanes do well with a modern single-temp 53 ft tandem air-ride box. Multi-stop grocery and foodservice often move to multi-temp with bulkheads. If you need speed at the dock, a roll-up door saves minutes at every stop; if you live on cube and a tight seal, swing doors are hard to beat.

Temperature and zones

Decide the coldest setpoint you need and whether you routinely split frozen and chill. A right-sized unit will pull down quickly without burning fuel. Bulkheads and return-air paths must be set up correctly or you will chase temps and waste diesel.

Size, weight, and common specs

53 ft is the standard on most long-haul lanes and it is the most common length on our marketplace right now. Tandem air ride dominates for ride quality and product protection. If you run heavy dense product, confirm axle ratings, tire loads, and your bridge/legal limits on your usual corridors.

Floor, airflow, and sanitation

Ducted aluminum floors move air under the pallets and keep product even from nose to tail. Flat floors are easier to clean and pallet jack but need proper spacing and dunnage so the unit is not fighting dead spots. Watch the nose bulkhead for damage—crushed return air kills performance.

Doors, seals, and insulation

Swing doors seal and maximize cube; roll-ups are fast but need maintenance to stay tight. Fresh seals and good hinge hardware do more for temp control than most settings on the controller. If the box leaks, the unit runs hard and drinks fuel.

Unit hours, service, and fuel

Hours tell a story, but maintenance tells the truth. Look at filters, belts, mounts, and any history of low charge or sensor issues. Make sure the controller shows clean alarms. Pick a tank size that fits your route and fueling cadence, and consider side skirts if you chase fuel savings.

Used reefer checklist

  • Run a cold pull-down and watch return-air temps stabilize.
  • Walk the box for light leaks; check roof seams, corners, and door seals.
  • Inspect floor channels for crush; verify drains are clear and no standing water.
  • Check air ride bags, valves, and leveling; verify brakes, tires, and lights.
  • Confirm unit hours and service intervals; review alarm history if available.

Pricing on this page updates from active listings. Today most reefer trailers list between $18,000–$35,000 with a median near $23,995. We currently see many 53 ft tandem air ride units with aluminum/duct floors on the market.

Reefer Trailer Buyer FAQs

How much does a reefer trailer cost? (September 2025)

On our marketplace right now, most reefer trailers cluster between $18,000-$35,000 with a sitewide median around $23,995. Used units typically center near $22,995 and new near $87,122. Overall we see a broad range from about $1,500 up to about $97,900 depending on age, spec, and condition.

What moves price: model year, unit make and hours, single vs multi-temp, box condition and insulation, floor type (duct vs flat), suspension, and door style.

What length should I choose - 48 ft or 53 ft?

53 ft is by far the most common choice on our marketplace and gives you the cube and pallet positions most lanes expect. 48 ft can be right for regional or weight-sensitive runs, tight docks, or fleets standardizing around shorter boxes. Pick for cube requirements and where you run.

Single-temp vs multi-temp - how do I decide?

Single-temp is simpler, lighter, and cheaper to run if your freight is consistent. Multi-temp uses bulkheads to split frozen, chilled, and ambient in one trip - great for mixed grocery and foodservice routes. If you do occasional splits, you can add bulkheads later - just be sure the unit has the capacity to pull down the warm zone without starving the cold zone.

Which floor and door setup is best?

Duct floors (aluminum or heavy-duty duct) keep air moving and temps even under the load - most common for food freight. Flat floors are easier to pallet jack and clean but need load spacing for airflow. Swing doors seal tighter and maximize cube; roll-up doors are faster on multi-stop routes but lose a bit of height and can leak if neglected.

Suspension, axles, and ride - what should I expect?

Most reefers on our site are tandem axle with air ride. Air ride protects product and the unit, and it helps on rough docks. Tri-axle is less common for general freight. If you haul heavy dense product, verify axle ratings and tire load capacity and match them to your lanes and permits.

What should I check on a used reefer trailer?

Check reefer unit hours and service records, then run a start-up and pull-down test. Walk the box in the dark for light leaks, feel door gaskets, and look for floor damage where airflow needs to pass. Verify air ride bags and valves, brakes, hub oil, and lights. If it has a roll-up door, check panels and tracks for wear and air loss.
