Container Sizes
Aircraft loads can consist of containers, pallets, or a mix of ULD types, depending on requirements, pallets and containers. ULD pallets are rugged sheets of aluminum with rims designed to lock onto cargo net lugs. ULD containers, also known as cans and pods, are closed containers made of aluminum or combination of aluminum (frame) and Lexan (walls), which, depending on the nature of the goods to be transported, may have built-in refrigeration units.
A Full Container Load (FCL) is a standard (20 or 40 ft length) container, depending on location of origin Country. The FCL means the loading reaches its allowable maximum weight or full measurement. In practice, the FCL in the ocean freight does not always mean packing a container to its full payload or full capacity. Сontainer loading is a quite difficult procedure, and during the loading it is necessary to pay attention in order to avoid cargo damage
Less than container load (LCL) is a shipment that is not large enough to fill a standard cargo container.
