Unit load device

A unit load device (ULD) is a container used to load luggage, freight, and mail on wide-body
aircraft and specific narrow-body aircraft. It allows preloading of cargo, confidence the
containerised load will fit in the aircraft and efficient planning of aircraft weight and balance
and reduced labour and time in loading aircraft holds compared with 'bulk-loading'single
items of cargo or luggage by hand. Each ULD has its own packing list (or manifest) so that its
contents can be tracked. A loaded aircraft cargo pallet secured with a cargo net forms a ULD
but its load must be gauged for size in addition to being weighed to ensure aircraft door and
hold clearances.

Unloading LD3 containers from a Boeing 747

The IATA publishes ULD regulations and notes there are 900,000 in service worth more than
US$1 billion, averaging $1100 each.[1]

Types
ULDs come in two forms: pallets and containers. ULD pallets are rugged sheets of aluminium
with rims designed to lock onto cargo net lugs. ULD containers, also known as cans and
pods, are closed containers made of aluminum or combination of aluminum (frame) and
Lexan (walls), which, depending on the nature of the goods to be transported, may have built-
in refrigeration units. Examples of common ULDs and their specifics are listed below.

Cross-section of an Airbus A300 showing LD3 containers

LD3s, LD6s, and LD11s will fit 787s, 777s, 747s, MD-11s, Il-86s, Il-96s, L-1011s and all Airbus
wide-bodies. The 767 uses the smaller LD2s and LD8s because of its narrower fuselage. The
less common LD1 is designed specifically for the 747, but LD3s are more commonly used in
its place because of ubiquity (they have the same floor dimensions such that one LD3 takes
the place of one LD1). LD3s with reduced height (1.14 metres (45 in) instead of 1.63 metres
(64 in)) can also be loaded on the Airbus A320 family. LD7 pallets will fit 787s, 777s, 747s,
late model 767s (with the big door), and Airbus wide-bodies.

Interchangeability of certain ULDs between LD3/6/11 aircraft and LD2/8 aircraft is possible
when cargo needs to be quickly transferred to a connecting flight. Both LD2s and LD8s can
be loaded in LD3/6/11 aircraft, but at the cost of using internal volume inefficiently (33 ft3
wasted per LD2). Only the LD3 of the LD3/6/11 family of ULDs can be loaded in a 767; it will
occupy an entire row where two LD2s or one LD8 would otherwise have fit (90 ft3 wasted per
LD3). Policies vary from airline to airline as to whether such transfers are allowed.

The 787, intended to replace the 767, was designed to use the LD3/6/11 family of ULDs to
solve the wasted volume issue.[4]

Aircraft loads can consist of containers, pallets, or a mix of ULD types, depending on
requirements. In some aircraft the two types must be mixed as some compartments take
only specific ULDs.

Container capacity of an aircraft is measured in positions. Each half-width container

(LD1/LD2/LD3) in the aircraft it was designed for occupies one position. Typically, each row
in a cargo compartment consists of two positions. Therefore, a full-width container
(LD6/LD8/LD11) will take two positions. An LD6 or an LD11 can occupy the space of two
LD3s. An LD8 takes the space of two LD2s.

Aircraft pallet capacity is measured by how many PMC-type LD7s 96 by 125 in (240 by
320 cm) can be stored. These pallets occupy approximately three LD3 positions (it occupies
two positions of one row and half of the two positions of the following row) or four LD2
positions. PMCs can only be loaded in cargo compartments with large doors designed to
accept them (small door compartments are container only).

Identification

Dimension names of ULD (LD3/AKE shown)

All ULDs are identified by their ULD number. A three-letter prefix identifies its type and key
characteristics,[49] followed by a 4 or 5 digit serial number (4 if prior to October 1, 1993; either
4 or 5 if after October 1, 1993) to uniquely identify it from others of the same type, and ending
with a two character (alpha-numerical) suffix identifying the ULD's owner (if an airline, often
the same as IATA designator codes). For example, AKN 12345 DL means that the ULD is a
forkliftable LD3 with the unique number 12345 and its owner is Delta Air Lines.[50]

Main-deck ULDs

On the main deck of cargo planes are 79 to 96 inches (2,007 to 2,438 mm) tall ULDs with
footprints similar to those of 88 inches (2,235 mm) or 96 inches (2,438 mm) wide pallets and
62 inches (1,575 mm) or 125 inches (3,175 mm) long. A 62-inch (1,575 mm) wide x 88-inch
(2,235 mm) tall ULD is half the volume of a 125-inch (3,175 mm) x 88 inch pallet. The 20 foot
pallet is 238 inches (6,045 mm) long and 96 inches (2,438 mm) wide. What the actual
dimensions of contoured upper deck ULDs are is very hard to know, because most
manufacturers only profile width, length and height data.

There are several common types of contoured main deck ULDs, that are contoured (curved to
fit in the plane's body) to provide as much cargo volume as possible. Initially ULD contouring
was simply a triangle removed from one or two corners of the profile of the ULD, such as the
common LD3 and LD6. Main deck ULDs use curves for the contoured shape to truly
maximize cargo volume. Upper deck ULDs are just like lower deck ULDs that are either the
full width of the plane with two corners of the profile removed (lower deck LD6 lower), or that
container is cut in half, down the center line of the plane, (lower deck LD3 and upper deck
AAX).

Main deck ULDs and pallets are not only taller than lower deck ULDs, they are frequently two
or four times longer. They are usually organized like an LD6, using the width of the plane and
missing two profile corners, or two very long LD3s, stored in parallel to use the plane's width
and each missing one profile corner, but often twice or four times as long from plane's nose
to tail.

Many air cargo companies use main deck ULDs that have both features called dual-profile, so
that on smaller planes such as the Boeing 727, they are stored widthwise and have two
corners contoured, and on the bigger Boeing 767, they can be rotated 90 degrees and
shipped in parallel like LD3s, so that only one corner is contoured when being used like an
LD3. This greatly simplifies transportation of cargo containers at slight cost of cargo volume.
