Abstract
A cargo container includes a plurality of panels, a first set of rales, a first pack, and a second pack. The plurality of panels defines a chamber that has an opening configured for loading and unloading of cargo in the chamber. The plurality of panels includes a first panel with the first set of rails connected to the first panel and disposed within the chamber. The first pack and the second pack are slidably received on the first set of rails and each include a phase-change material (PCM) disposed therein. The first pack and the second pack are interlocked with one another such that the first pack and the second pack slide in concert with one another.
