ABSTRACT:
A plurality of special pallets aligned end to end in two rows on the floor of an insulated transport container form a false floor with fluid conduits therebelow. Each of the special pallets is a single piece casting of plastic material with a thin solid top, three spaced-apart runners attached below the top, end braces attached to the pallet ends, and a horizontal reinforcing web supporting the top. Voids extending between the runners are aligned to form four fluid conduits from the front of the container to its rear. A pan or false ceiling is suspended from the container ceiling to form a sprinkler plenum between the pan and the ceiling. Chilled water is pumped into the sprinkler plenum, and sprinkled through regularly spaced holes in the pan onto vegetation stacked on the false floor. Water sprinkled onto the vegetation drains through slits in the pallet tops into the fluid conduits and flows therethrough to a drain at the rear of the container. Inert gas injected from a gas plenum through ports at the floor near the container front into the fluid conduits flows toward the rear, dispersing up through the slits and around the vegetation. The pallets are easily removed between loads for cleaning and sanitation of the pallets and the container floor.
