United Cargo has enhanced its TempControl service by approving the new CSafe RAP active temperature-controlled container.

According to United, many of the same leasing options currently available for the CSafe RKN container are now available for the new CSafe RAP. TempControl customers can lease the CSafe RAP directly from CSafe Global or through United Cargo.

“The CSafe RKN container has been a key component of our TempControl service since 2010,” said Jan Krems, president of United Cargo. “The demand for pharmaceuticals and other  healthcare products grows every year, and customers and patients worldwide are seeking expanded capacity across our TempControl network. With the new CSafe RAP container, we can meet this need using the innovative CSafe technology that is proven by years of impeccable performance and trusted by our customers.”

The CSafe RAP uses heating and compressor-driven cooling technologies, along with advanced ThermoCor VIP insulation, to maintain constant payload temperatures, even at extreme ambient temperatures spanning from -30°C to +54°C. It has payload compartment measuring 6.68 cubic metres and can accommodate up to four standard US pallets or five standard Euro pallets. The container has an extended battery run time of over 120 hours.

“CSafe is very excited to add United Cargo to the ever-expanding list of airlines that have approved our new CSafe RAP temperature-controlled container,” said Jeff Pepperworth, CEO of CSafe Global. “The combination of United Cargo’s expansive TempControl network and the superior performance of the CSafe RAP container offers life science companies a powerful and reliable solution to move temperature-sensitive healthcare products to patients across the globe.”
