WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL Forward Cargo Hold
The operator must check all the limits, provided in this section, without taking into account the load
factors.
ULD LOADING
STRUCTURE
The floor structure can sustain the following loads:
Distributed Load
(kg/m²) (lb/ft²)
Via ball mats or roller tracks 488 100
The distributed load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on the area delimited by the
external contour of the contact points between the ULD and ball mats or roller tracks.
PANELS
The operator has no floor loading limits to check for the panels.

BULK LOADING
STRUCTURE
The floor structure can sustain the following load on the flat and sloped floor:
Distributed Load
(kg/m²) (lb/ft²)
Via floor panels 732 150
Via ball mats or roller tracks 488 100
The distributed load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on the area delimited by the
external contour of the contact points between the load and the floor.
PANELS
Each floor panel can sustain the following loads:
Local Load Point Load
(kg/0.093m²) (lb/1ft²) (kg/cm²) (lb/in²)
On the flat floor 906 2 000 6.6 94
On the sloped floor 906 2 000 6.6 94
The local load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on any floor panel area of 0.093 m²
(1.00 ft²) that will not lead to permanent deformations.
The point load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on any unit of surface of the floor panel
that will not lead to puncture of the panel.
