ULD (Unit Load Device)

A Unit Load Device (ULD) is a specialized container or pallet used in aviation to efficiently load, transport, and unload cargo, luggage, and mail on commercial aircraft. Designed for standardized sizes and shapes, ULDs streamline handling processes and maximize aircraft space utilization. They help secure cargo safely during flight, preventing damage or shifting, and facilitate quick transfer between different modes of transportation, such as trucks and planes. ULDs are essential for airline logistics, ensuring safe, organized, and efficient cargo management throughout the air transport chain.
