Air Freight Unit Loaded Device

ULD stands for unit load device, which is a pallet or container used to load luggage, freight, and mail onto aircrafts. If the ULD is a pallet, it is most likely made from aluminum sheets equipped with rims to lock onto cargo nets.

Once loaded, the air freight shipments are wrapped with shrink-wrap or tied together using cargo nets. A container  sometimes referred to as a can or pod is a closed ULD framed with aluminum. Depending on the items being shipped, these containers could have built-in refrigeration units or Lexan walls (a type of thermoplastic).

Why Should I air freight my cargo using a unit load device?ULDs are an efficient way to ship bulk packages domestically or internationally. Large quantities of cargo can be loaded onto in a single unit. The cargo can be stack loaded and balanced preventing the cargo shifting or getting lost or damaged during transit. ULDs offer support and organization for your packages. Futhermore the ULD’s save loading crews time and effort in handling your cargo not to mention help prevent delay's, which is very important  to ensure your cargo is uplifted onto the intended flight and delivered on time.
