ABSTRACT:
A transport system for food products contemplates a land vehicle with a van body and a refrigeration unit and a food product carrier which may be inserted and withdrawn from the interior of the van body. The carrier has a plurality of compartments for housing the refrigerated food products and when the carrier is in its operative position in the van body, it is arranged to cooperated with the refrigeration unit so that the unit serves to refrigerate the food products in one of the end compartments of the carrier. Between the compartments, the carrier is provided with movable panels that are equipped with motorized fans for circulating air between adjacent compartments. This circulates air between the compartments and the arrangement is such the temperature range maintained in each compartment rises from one compartment to the next. Each compartment is accessible from the exterior of the van body and through aligned doorways in the adjacent side walls of the van body and carrier. These doorways in the carrier are panel type, track mounted doors whereas those in the van body may be hinged for pivotal movement about a vertical axis. Non-refrigerated food products are stored in a compartment located in the van body and between the rear wall of the van body and the carrier as it is located in its operative position therein.
