Air Container Load

The following guide to airfreight containers, also called Unit Load Devices (ULD), has been developed from materials supplied by IATA (International Air Transport Association) and the ATA (Air Transport Association of America).

This guide lists and illustrates the average external dimensions and weight limitations of the primary containers in use today. Exact dimensions and weight limitations will vary by manufacturer and availability will vary by the air carrier and trade lane.
