Airline Pallet Dimensions

Airline Pallet's are more commonly known as...ULD's or Unit Load Device - which are used within the airline industry to enable operators and customers to load cargo into airline containers or on airline pallets. ULD's are basically interchangeable between the airlines and are widely used to streamline costs in packing, fast and secure on-and off-loading of aircrafts.
The following are nominal figures and differences in measurements are possible as there are many manufacturers around the world.
This is also applicable to Seafreight containers, different manufacturers, slightly different measurements.

We strongly suggest to contact us if you do have any critical weight and dimensional cargo. We can then pre-book the related ULD with the Airline in order to double check that the equipment is available with the chosen airline.
