A fried food cart assembly for preparing fried treats in any location includes a cart that has a hitch which is coupled to the cart. A fryer is positioned in the cart to heat cooking oil for frying a food item. A cold storage unit is positioned in the cart to store perishable food items. A plurality of preparing shelves is each positioned in the cart to facilitate objects to be placed thereon. A point of sale unit is positioned in the cart to conduct financial transactions for patrons purchasing food that is prepared in the cart. An umbrella is positionable in the cart to shield the cart from precipitation and sunlight.

A cover for a transportation refrigeration unit includes a substantially solid front panel and one or more airflow inlet openings located at a top of the cover to direct an airflow from outside the cover into the transportation refrigeration unit. A refrigerated container system includes a container having a cargo compartment for transportation of a cargo and a transportation refrigeration unit secured to the container and including a refrigeration unit operably connectible to the cargo compartment and configured to direct cooling airflow into the cargo compartment thereby cooling the cargo compartment to a selected temperature. A cover is secured to the refrigeration unit and includes a substantially solid front panel and one or more airflow inlet openings positioned at a top of the cover to direct an inlet airflow from outside the cover into the refrigeration unit.

A system and method for maintaining a desired carbon dioxide concentration within an interior space of a transport unit during transport are disclosed. The method includes determining the carbon dioxide concentration within the interior space; enabling a carbon dioxide injection system when the carbon dioxide concentration is not at a set point value; and disabling the carbon dioxide injection system when the carbon dioxide concentration is at the set point value.

In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to temperature-controlled delivery of items. A conveyor mechanism disposed within a temperature-controlled compartment of a delivery vehicle can provide easy access to items within the compartment. In some embodiments, the conveyor mechanism can be operated by a control circuit to convey items within the compartment to position the items adjacent to the access door according to various inputs
