Abstract
Apparatus for storage and transport of temperature sensitive goods comprises a load carrier pallet for supporting the goods, an upper insulating cover for covering the goods and the upper edge of the pallet, a lower cover enclosing the pallet and the lower part of the upper cover, and a sealing member between the facing surfaces of the upper and lower covers. A controllable arrangement for supplying a gaseous cooling medium is carried by the upper cover, whereby a blocking gas layer of cooling medium is maintainable around the goods. The sealing member preferably is gas permeable, and may comprise a Velcro fastener. Rubber bands or the like may be used also to connect the upper and lower covers. At least the upper cover is a laminated structure.
