Cutting-edge, cold-chain logistics solution offers reliable and durable transport refrigeration for temperature-sensitive goods.

Delta Development Team (DDT) recently introduced large-scale refrigerated Tricon containers designed to meet the rigorous needs of military and commercial entities by offering reliable and durable refrigeration for a wide range of applications, including the possibility of FDA-regulated blood storage and preservation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals.

Known for its FDA-listed portable blood refrigerator solutions, DDT is now extending its expertise to the broader logistics sector. The Tricon container format combines standardized ISO compliance with compact and manageable designs, providing enhanced versatility and seamless operation even in the most remote and resource-constrained environments, the company reported. In collaboration with government partners, prototype systems are undergoing field testing and evaluation, demonstrating the system’s potential to meet the growing demands of modern supply chains.

“With the demand for innovative logistics solutions growing—particularly for blood storage, pharmaceuticals, perishable goods, and other temperature-sensitive supplies—our systems are designed to meet the highest standards of both military and commercial supply chains,” DDT CEO Montgomery Leija said in a news release. “We’re leveraging our proven expertise in refrigeration technology and expanding its application through government collaboration, regulatory compliance, and advanced engineering.

“Our focus is on solving the challenges of today’s cold chain logistics and remote storage needs.”

Key features of DDT’s large-scale refrigeration containers:

  • Advanced refrigerant compatibility: Designed to optimize temperature control and extend the longevity of stored goods. The system supports current and future refrigerants, ensuring adaptability to evolving environmental regulations.
  • Power source compatibility: Operates seamlessly using transport vehicle-provided 28-volt direct current (DC) or grid/generator-supplied AC power, ensuring reliability across diverse logistical scenarios.
  • Improved transportation performance: Enhancements ensure stable and secure transport across various modes of intermodal logistics, reducing risks to temperature-sensitive cargo.
  • Standardized portability: Superior portability tailored to military applications for ease of deployment, where the ISO container format is standardized.
  • Efficient design: Reduced fuel consumption requirements improve sustainability and minimize resource demands during logistics operations.
