Frequently Asked Questions
The Coldtainer T0056 is the ultimate multi-purpose workhorse for commercial last-mile delivery. Providing a robust 56-litre gross internal capacity, it bridges the gap between smaller sample carriers and heavy pallet systems. It is highly sought after by:
Commercial Catering & Food Service: Safely transporting wholesale batches of premium ingredients, prepped meals, or delicate pastries.
Mid-Scale Pharmaceutical Delivery: Distributing larger diagnostic kits, multi-box vaccine shipments, and hospital-bound medical supplies.
Eco-Conscious & EV Fleets: The perfect companion for urban electric delivery cars, bikes, or vans, eliminating the need to modify the vehicle's high-voltage electrical grid.
Its top-opening design ensures that when the lid is cracked open during a delivery drop, the cold air stays pooled inside rather than immediately spilling out, making it exceptionally energy efficient for routes with dozens of stops.
Choosing the right configuration depends on your climate, your payload sensitivity, and whether you require independent battery power:
The Temperature Profiles (FDN vs. FDH):
T0056/FDN (Freezing Only): Mainstays for standard refrigeration or deep freezing down to -24°C. Ideal for frozen foods, meats, or stable chilled inventory in mild climates.
T0056/FDH (Freezing + Heating): Spans a wide bracket from -24°C to +40°C.. Essential for strict GDP pharmaceutical compliance in areas experiencing freezing winters, using active heating elements to prevent cold-sensitive liquids from freezing.
The Power Framework (Standard vs. AuO):
Standard: Draws directly from the vehicle's 12V/24V DC battery while driving.
Autonomous Operation (AuO): Integrates an onboard 24V, 20Ah Lithium-Ion battery and smart charger. Choose the AuO version if you operate electric delivery vehicles (to preserve driving range) or if the container needs to remain active outside the vehicle for 8 to 10 hours at a time.
Yes, though its transport dynamics are different from its smaller siblings. At 33 kg (72.7 lbs) for the standard unit and 36.5 kg (80.5 lbs) for the AuO autonomous model, it is ideally a two-person lift when fully loaded, or handled with a dolly.
Van & Truck Integration: Its external footprint 800L X 495W X 500H (mm) is designed to slip easily into the back of a small cargo van, SUV, or the bed of a pickup.
Zero-Infrastrucutre Fleets: If using the AuO version, swapping between vehicles takes seconds because there are zero cords to plug into the vehicle. You simply strap the unit down using an optional fixing kit and go.
Depot Compatibility: Like the smaller models, an optional 150W AC/DC power brick allows standard units to run off a regular 110V–240V wall outlet inside a warehouse overnight before being loaded into a truck.
The T0056 delivers professional-grade, audit-proof temperature isolation through advanced physical and electronic engineering:
Commercial-Grade Insulation: Features an ultra-thick 70 mm (2.75 inches) wall of polyurethane foam insulation. Molded as a single piece of food-grade, UV-stabilized polyethylene, it features zero junctions, joints, or seams, completely eradicating structural cold bridges.
Uncompromising Air Circulation: It features an internal fan system that creates a continuous, gentle vortex of airflow. This completely eliminates internal stratification (hot or cold pockets) and keeps the top, middle, and bottom of the container within a tight 1-degree tolerance of your setpoint.
Constant Active Power: Utilizing a heavy-duty SECOP BD50F direct-current compressor, the container continuously fights off high ambient outdoor temperatures (rated to perform flawlessly in outside environments up to +55°C.
HACCP Tracking: It supports an optional HACCP Bluetooth interface module. Drivers can track data streams via an app, and fleet managers can download exact temperature logs to provide clients with verified proof of cold-chain continuity upon arrival.
