A cargo container has a top, bottom, and sides. The cargo container includes a ventilation unit having an air outlet. The cargo container also includes a ventilated floor, which has an air channel, and a baffle plate assembly configured to direct air from the air outlet of the ventilation unit into the air channel of the ventilated floor. The baffle plate assembly includes a first plate, which is attached to the bottom of the cargo container to remain fixed, and a second plate, which is hinged to the first plate to move from an open position to a closed position. When the second plate is in the open position, a gap between the air outlet of the ventilation unit and the air channel of the ventilated floor is exposed. When the second plate is in the closed position, the gap between the air outlet of the ventilation unit and the air channel of the ventilated floor is covered.
