An improved cooling system for product containers comprising: a plurality of track rail means so arranged to form a plurality of laterally adjacent product container travel lanes each containing a plurality of tiers; entry and exit means to and from said travel lanes for product containers; a plurality of crossovers for interconnecting each said product container travel lane with at least one adjacent lane such that product containers move from one lane to an adjacent lane at said crossovers; a plurality of pusher bar means extending across said lanes for rollingly moving said containers therealong; means for interconnectingly driving said pusher bar means such that said containers travel substantially the entire length of every lane in every tier prior to exiting said cooling system so as to properly cool the product therein while said system requires only a relatively small amount of floor space; and means for forming an active cooling system for cooling product containers as they move along said lanes.
