About the PNA Half Pallet

A half pallet squared off for the 767 lower hold, built to the PNA code.

Sized so two units fit across the 767 and 787 belly, where a full-width pallet will not. At 83 kg it is among the lightest ULDs in service, which leaves more of the weight allowance for cargo.

What it carries

  • General air freight
  • Part-load consignments
  • Parcels

How it is built

  • A half pallet squared off to fit the 767 lower hold.
  • A flat aluminium sheet base with hardened edge rails that lock into the aircraft restraint system.
  • Cargo built up on the base and held down by a net tensioned onto the edge rails.
  • Contoured builds shape the load to the hold profile; squared-off builds use the full main-deck height instead.
  • Wing variants add hinged or fixed-angle side extensions to carry cargo that overhangs the base.

Why it is used

  • Takes cargo of almost any shape, since nothing encloses it.
  • The lightest tare of any ULD for a given footprint, so more of the weight allowance goes to cargo.
  • Stacks flat when empty, which keeps the cost of repositioning equipment down.

What to check before booking

  • The cargo is exposed and the net is the only restraint, so the quality of the build-up decides whether the load arrives intact.
  • The finished load has to match the hold contour or it will not fit.
  • Nets and edge rails wear, and both are inspected before the unit is accepted.
