Abstract: A freezing container has three plastic molded parts: a box, a cover and a hatch lid. All three parts are preferably rotationally molded, double wall insulated components. The box is preferably about 40 cubic feet (1.13 m.sup.3) in volume and has an internal fluted surface to promote circulation of refrigerated air. The cover is completely removable from the box and has a front hatch providing access to the box and a rear opening for attachment of a refrigerating unit. The cover is releasably attached to the box, preferably by means of elastomeric straps which extend from the cover rim to engagement pins on the outside of the box. Forklift loops are provided atop the cover and beneath the box to facilitate manipulation of the container.
