Description
Introduction
ALF aviation containers are standardized unit load devices (ULDs) engineered for installation in the lower-deck compartments of wide-body aircraft. They are intended for medium to large-volume air cargo on long-haul and international routes and are used by airlines, freight forwarders and logistics operators for reliable aircraft-compatible payload handling.
Overview
Base size: 3175 mm × 1534 mm. Height: 1625 mm (manufacturing tolerance ~1626 mm). Roof length: 4044 mm. Internal volume: ~8.9 m³. External volume: ~9.4 m³. Maximum gross weight: 3175 kg. Typical tare/dead weight values reported: 150–161 kg depending on source and variant. Constructed to withstand air transport loads, repeated handling and turbulence. Compatible with lower decks of wide-body types such as Boeing 747, 777 and Airbus A330, A380. Complies with applicable ULD and aviation standards.
Product Description
ALF Container designed as a lower-deck ULD for wide-body freighter and combi operations. Overall dimensions presented on source: 60.4" × 160" × 64" (H). Base size imperial: 60.4" × 125". Max gross weight: 3175 kg. Tare weight reported in table: 150 kg (other references on page list 160 kg / 161 kg). Materials: Base sheet AL7021; Container frame AL7003; Container skin AL5754; Connor connection AL2A14; Door: polyester fiber cloth. Certification examples on page: CAAC CTSO - C90c; NAS3610 - 2L2C.
Additional variants / related specs shown on the page
Examples of related ULD types and sample specifications included on the source page: DPE/LD2 (Max 1225 kg, Dead weight 87 kg, Chassis 1194×1534 mm), AKE/LD3/2K2C (Max 1588 kg, Dead weight 90–100 kg, Chassis 1562×1534 mm), ALF/LD6/2L1C (ALF variant: Max 3175 kg, Dead weight ~160 kg, Chassis 3175×1534 mm), DQF/LD8 (Max 2450 kg, Dead weight 127 kg, Chassis 2438×1534 mm). These illustrate related capacity and footprint variants for lower-deck operations.
Compatibility & Use
Intended for airlines, freight forwarders, MROs and logistics providers requiring standardized ULDs for efficient lower-deck loading on wide-body aircraft. Suitable for palletized and unitized cargo where compliance with aircraft interface, restraint systems and ground handling equipment is required. Use cases include long-haul freight, interline transfers and integrated logistics chains.
