Abstract

A shipping container (12) for shipping frozen and/or refrigerated cargo in an unrefrigerated cargo area of a substantially larger transport vehicle comprising: a) a container having an interior area (24) with a volume to be loaded with the frozen and/or refrigerated cargo with an access opening (21) that can be opened/closed; b) one or more refrigerant tanks (27,28) mounted in the container for containing a cryogenic liquefied refrigerant under pressure to be utilized for cooling the container interior; c) header means (32) for piping refrigerant from the tanks (27,28) to the container interior; d) temperature responsive controller means for periodically dispensing refrigerant from the tanks to the header in order to maintain a desired preselected preset refrigerated or frozen temperature range within the container interior; e) a lifting frame (18,19,20) positioned at the bottom of the container and including load transfer means for forming a connection between a forklift type lifting mechanism and the lower end portion of the container so that the container may be transferred into and out of an unrefrigerated vehicle using a forklift mechanism; and f) means for preliminarily charging the container interior with refrigerant from an external bulk source to lower the container interior temperature prior to shipment.
