ULD (Unit Load Device) are metal containers or pallets that are adapted to the aircraft's fuselage measurements to load luggage, goods and / or mail into the aircraft. Both aerial containers and pallets allow a volume of cargo to be grouped in the same unit, speeding up and mechanizing loading, terminal-aircraft transport and stowage.
