These containers are insulated
against heat loss or gain and are used in conjunction with a
blown air refrigeration system, to covey perishable or other
cargo which needs to be carried under temperature control.
Internally, the container is
equipped with an aluminium T-section floor and the inside face
of the doors are fitted with moulded battens to permit air
flow around the cargo. It is important that when cargo
requiring temperature control is loaded in this type of
container, an air space of approximately 75mm is left over the
top of the cargo to allow free air flow circulation.
Securing points are positioned along each side of the floor,
there being three each side with SWL of 2023kg each, while
lashing points to prevent fallout are sited at the door end of
the container by the cornerposts.
The Fruit container has been
developed to carry fresh, deciduous and citrus fruit from
Southern Africa, the internal dimensions being slightly
larger than the standard insulated container to accommodate
the packing of standard fruit pallets and cases used on this
trade. The internal structure of these boxes is basically
the same as the standard insulated container.
