What Are Aircraft Cargo Container ？
Aircraft cargo containers are one of the two main types of Unit Load Devices (ULDs) used in air transportation. Unlike ordinary cargo boxes, ULD containers are designed according to aircraft cargo compartment dimensions to maximize available space and improve loading efficiency.
These lightweight enclosed units are mainly used to protect, organize, and secure cargo during flight operations. As an important part of the aircraft cargo handling system, ULD containers must meet requirements for structural strength, weight control, and aircraft compatibility.

Aircraft cargo containers are available in different sizes and configurations to match various aircraft cargo compartments. The most commonly used ULD containers include LD2, LD3, L6,L8,DPE and AKE aviation containers etc, which are widely used for passenger and freighter aircraft operations.
LD3 Aircraft Container
LD3 containers are one of the most commonly used ULD containers in air cargo operations. They are designed for wide-body aircraft and are widely used on Airbus and Boeing aircraft for lower deck cargo transportation.
AKE Air Cargo Container
AKE containers are lightweight lower deck containers commonly used for passenger aircraft. Their optimized shape helps improve cargo space utilization while meeting aircraft compatibility requirements.
LD2 Airline Cargo Container
LD2 containers are designed for narrow-body and wide-body aircraft cargo operations, especially for Boeing 767 aircraft. Their optimized dimensions allow efficient use of lower deck cargo space while providing secure protection and handling of air freight.

Milneon also provides ULDs to support different air cargo transportation requirements.
Aircraft Cargo Pallet
Aircraft cargo pallets are one types of the ULD. They are mainly made of aluminum panels and are typically used together with cargo nets for securing goods. Cargo is loaded onto the airline pallet, placed inside the aircraft cargo compartment, and secured in position with the net during transportation.
Aircraft Cargo Dolly
ULD dollies are ground support equipment used for moving and handling Unit Load Devices (ULDs) during airport ground operations. They are available in different designs to meet various cargo handling requirements, and the right dolly type depends on the specific application and operating conditions.
Aviation Ground Equipment Manufacturer FAQ
1. What is an aircraft cargo container?
An airline cargo containers is a type of Unit Load Device (ULD) used to consolidate, protect, and transport cargo during air transportation. Unlike ordinary cargo boxes, ULD containers are designed according to aircraft cargo compartment dimensions to ensure proper fit, efficient loading, and safe operation.
2. What is the difference between an aircraft cargo container and an aircraft pallet?
Aircraft cargo containers are enclosed units designed to protect and organize cargo, while aircraft pallets are flat platforms used together with cargo nets to secure goods. Containers are commonly used for general cargo, baggage, and temperature-controlled applications, while pallets are often used for large, irregular, or heavy cargo.
3. What types of aircraft cargo containers can you manufacture?
We support manufacturing of common ULD container types, including LD3, DPE, LD2, and LD7 containers. Customized container designs can also be produced according to customer drawings, technical specifications, and aircraft application requirements.
4.Can you manufacture aircraft cargo containers according to customer drawings?
