Introduction
Aviation ALF containers are specialized unit load devices (ULDs) designed to excel in the lower decks of wide-body aircraft, serving as a reliable solution for medium to large-volume air cargo transportation across long-haul and international routes. Trusted by airlines, freight forwarders, and logistics providers, they balance space efficiency with robust performance to meet diverse cargo needs.
Boasting precise dimensions, the ALF container features a base size of 3175mm × 1534mm, a height of 1625mm (with minor manufacturing tolerances allowing for approximately 1626mm), and a roof length of 4044mm. This design translates to an internal volume of around 8.9m³ and an external volume of 9.4m³, providing ample space for a variety of goods. In terms of weight capacity, it has a maximum gross weight of 3175kg and a typical tare weight of 161kg, ensuring it can handle substantial cargo while adhering to aviation weight regulations. Constructed with durability in mind, it is built to withstand the rigors of air travel, including turbulence and frequent loading and unloading.
Compatible with a range of wide-body aircraft lower decks such as Boeing 747, 777, Airbus A330, and A380, ALF containers comply with IATA standards, making them a versatile choice for global air cargo networks. Whether transporting industrial parts, consolidated parcels, or other medium to large-sized items, they offer efficient utilization of cargo space, contributing to smooth and safe air freight operations.
