The high-performing Coldtainer F0140 model is a flexible front-loading portable refrigeration unit suitable for food catering and other industries transporting temperature-sensitive, perishable products. The interior side walls of the F0140 are designed with shelving grooves that provide effortless loading and unloading of food containers – perfect for food catering and onsite culinary events.

Featuring triple-insulated construction and onboard active temperature control, the Coldtainer F0140 offers the best iso-thermal performance. The rugged modular design is perfect for last-mile delivery and logistic operations, allowing for seamless stacking and transferring between vehicles.

Environmentally sustainable, Coldtainers can utilize either 120V shore power during on-site storage or the vehicle’s 12V power supply while in transit. This eliminates the need for costly van liners, vehicle conversions and vehicle maintenance. Autonomous and heated versions of this model are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Coldtainer F0140 is a professional-grade, front-loading mobile container engineered for fast-paced last-mile delivery and transit routes. Featuring a generous 140-litre capacity, it is the industry benchmark for:
Catering & HORECA (Hotel/Restaurant/Catering): The interior walls are designed with integrated molded shelving tracks perfectly spaced to slide in standard Gastronorm (GN 1/1, 1/2, or 1/3) food pans, making it highly efficient for hot or cold meal transport.
Pharma & Medical Couriers: Moving multi-box batches of vaccines, lab samples, or chilled biopharmaceuticals.
Grocery Delivery: Holding a significant volume of local home-delivery orders.
Its front-opening door allows it to be stacked or built directly into utility vehicles and vans, operating like a commercial refrigerator on wheels without requiring a dedicated refrigerated vehicle.

The F0140 offers an expanded matrix of choices across three physical functions—Cooling, Freezing, or Heating—and two power styles:
The Temperature Profiles (ND vs. FD vs. HmL):
NDN / NDH (Refrigeration Only): Cools down to -10°C. Choose NDN for standard chilled transport. Choose NDH if you require active heating up to +30°C to protect sensitive chilled cargo during freezing winter routes.
FDN / FDH (Freezing): Drops down to deep freeze territory at -21°C. Choose FDN for frozen goods, or FDH if you need the active freeze-protection heating feature.
H140 / H140 AuO (Dedicated Hot Box): Designed exclusively for hot food transit, holding internal temperatures steadily between +65°C and +85°C using self-regulating heating elements.
The Power Framework (Standard vs. AuO):
Standard: Draws 12V/24V DC power natively from the vehicle's electrical system while driving.
Autonomous Operation (AuO): Contains an internal 110 Ah VRLA Gel or Lithium battery and smart charger. This version is standard for Electric Vehicles (EVs) to avoid draining the traction battery, or for catering operations where the unit must sit on-site unplugged for 8 to 10 hours.

Yes, the F0140 is built to seamlessly transfer between vehicles, though its weight requires equipment or a team lift. Empty, a standard F0140 cooling unit weighs 52 kg to 57 kg (114 lbs to 125 lbs), while the autonomous battery models can range from 60 kg to 97 kg (132 lbs to 213 lbs) depending on battery type.
Fleet Interoperability: Its external footprint 1000L X 620W X 710H (mm) fits perfectly into light commercial vehicles, pickup trucks with caps, and transit vans.
The Mobility Ecosystem: Optional heavy-duty caster trolleys and integrated tie-down kits allow a single operator to wheel the unit out of a warehouse floor, slide it into a van, lock it down, and unload it effortlessly at a venue.
Dual-Voltage Flexibility: Standard units operate via 12V/24V DC vehicle power but can be plugged into a standard 100V–240V AC wall outlet at your depot using an optional 150W/300W power supply.

The F0140 guarantees total regulatory compliance (HACCP / GDP) through premium physical engineering:
Maximum Thermal Protection: Rotomolded out of a single piece of food-grade, UV-stabilized polyethylene, it features an ultra-thick 80 mm to 100 mm (3.1 to 3.9 inches) polyurethane foam core. This structural density yields an incredible •K• insulation factor, ensuring temperature holding even if power is completely cut off.
Commercial Compressors: Cooling versions employ rugged SECOP (formerly Danfoss) compressors (BD50F for ND models, and the upgraded BD80F for heavy-duty FD freezing variants) coupled with digital electronic thermostats for single-degree accuracy.
Uniform Internal Air Distributions: To counter the •cold air drop• that naturally occurs when a front-opening door is unlatched, the unit can be equipped with an active internal fan kit. This ensures rapid temperature recovery and eliminates internal thermal stratification.
HACCP Electronic Monitoring: Supports an optional HACCP Bluetooth interface module. Drivers can check temp readouts on their mobile devices during transit, and compliance officers can download historical data trails for end-client verification.
