Patent attributes
A temperature-controlled air cargo container transport dolly for use in transporting perishable cargo from an air cargo storage area to an aircraft. In a preferred embodiment, the air cargo container transport dolly comprises a conventional air cargo trailer having a housing structure mounted thereupon. The housing structure defines a cargo-holding interior within which perishable cargo, as stored within a conventional air cargo container, can be securely stored. To facilitate the ability to move such perishable cargo, rollers may be integrated into the flooring of the housing. A temperature control unit is further integrated within such housing to provide a temperature-controlled environment within the housing. The temperature-control unit will preferably be powered through a variety of means, whether from electricity from an external source, a battery, or by electric generator means, such as a diesel electric generator.
