Air Freight Pallets are designed for
use with conveyor systems in terminals and in aircraft, the low-profile
flat pallet (also referred to as a Flat Rack) is equipped with fittings
for securing the pallet firmly to the aircraft deck
Freight is
normally secured to the pallet by nets, tightened over the freight by
application of tensioned straps.
Pallets are often covered with
contoured semi-structural covers called "igloos," "hulahuts," or "cocoons"
to provide protection and keep cargo within safe dimensions for loading in
aircraft. Igloos may be attached to the pallet by cargo nets that are
placed over the exterior, or the igloo may be permanently attached to the
pallet.
Dimensions and cubes will vary slightly. Common sizes and
capacities of pallets are: |
