Airline-Specific Container

In today's rapidly evolving air logistics landscape, transport efficiency and cargo safety have become increasingly vital. Unit Load Devices(ULDs), as critical enablers of air cargo movement, are available in a variety of types, each designed to meet specific operational needs and cargo characteristics. Below are several commonly used container types developed by CIMC Qingdao Refrigeration Industrial Base for airline applications.

The Active Temperature-Controlled Container(TCC) utilizes battery power and an integrated refrigeration system to maintain precise internal temperatures. Designed specifically for transporting temperature-sensitive goods such as vaccines, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and high-value perishables in air logistics, this high-performance ULD is widely deployed in international air transport scenarios requiring strict temperature management.

Ground Transfer Containers are primarily used for refrigerated cargo transfer and pre-cooling on the airport apron. Featuring a lightweight all-aluminum construction, high cooling capacity, and efficient loading/unloading design, they ensure temperature integrity during ground handling operations.

The Phase Change Material (PCM) Air Container (PCM-AKN) supports aviation cold chain logistics by delivering consistent thermal protection for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, active ingredients, perishables, flowers, and food products throughout the journey. PCM Logistics Containers are also extensively used in express trunk and branch line networks, refrigerated road transport, cold chain operations, mobile passive cooling storage, and as containers for bulk temperature-sensitive shipments.

CIMC Qingdao Refrigeration Industrial Base was established in 1999. It is dedicated to designing and manufacturing ISO-standard reefer containers and producing customized refrigeration and insulation specialty products. Its customers span major global logistics systems, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The base's products cover application scenarios across the "sea, land, and air" supply chain systems, providing full-process equipment manufacturing solutions for cold chain equipment—from pre-cooling at production origins and manufacturing to midstream logistics transportation and last-mile warehousing.
