However, most baggage and loose freight items are loaded into containers called Unit Load Devices ( ULDs ), often referred to as " cans ".
42.
The cargo hold has been modified to be able to transport up to 8 military pallets in addition to civilian Unit Load Device ( ULD ).
43.
The effect of the distributed unit load can also be obtained by integrating the point load s influence line over the corresponding length of the structures.
44.
This means that they can be used even when the load that will be applied is not a unit load or if there are multiple loads applied.
45.
A "'unit load "'combines individual items or items in shipping containers into single " units " that can be moved easily with a pallet jack or forklift truck.
46.
A typical unit load might consist of corrugated fiberboard boxes stacked on a pallet or slip sheet and stabilized with stretch wrap, pressure-sensitive tape, strapping or shrink wrap.
47.
These include loading and unloading of aircraft, baggage handling, cargo and mail delivery, ramp coordination, aircraft-load control, aerobridge and passenger steps operation, Unit Load Device storage and crew transportation.
48.
To find the effect of any non-unit load on a structure, the ordinate results obtained by the influence line are multiplied by the magnitude of the actual load to be applied.
49.
It is thus far more convenient and general than the classical form of the dummy unit load method, which varies with the type of system as well as with the imposed external effects.
50.
If the logistics system consists of uniform palletized unit loads, the structural design of the package can be designed to meet those specific needs, such as vertical stacking for a longer time frame.
