This International Standard specifies dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for 2,44 m (8 ft) wide pallets to be used in freight versions of high-capacity fixed-wing aircraft, intended to be compatible with the 2,44 m × 2,44 m (8 ft × 8 ft) cross-section containers described in ISO 8323. Pallet nets to be used in conjunction with these pallets are described in ISO 4115.

This International Standard establishes three classes of pallet:

  • Type A, air-only pallets;
  • Type B, air/land pallets;
  • Type C, adapter pallets.

Pallets have a nominal width of 2,44 m (8 ft) and nominal lengths of 3 m, 5 m, 6 m, 9 m and 12 m (10 ft, 16 ft, 20 ft, 30 ft and 40 ft).

Air-only pallets (Type A) will normally be handled on aircraft equivalent roller conveying systems and/or on similarly equipped ancillary ground handling devices.

The 5 m (16 ft) pallet is to be used only with this type.

Air/land pallets (Type B) are suitable for air/land handling and transport systems. Supplementary requirements for type B pallets are found in 5.5.1.

Air-adapter pallets (Type C) are used to adapt 2,44 m × 2,44 m (8 ft × 8 ft) surface-mode only containers (see ISO 1496-1) for air transport.

Supplementary requirements for the Type C version are found in 5.5.2.

NOTE 1 Use of the adapter pallet with surface-mode only 2,44 m − 2,44 m (8 ft × 8 ft) containers may require uniform load distribution on the base cross members of these containers for carriage on certain aircraft. The aircraft approved weight and balance manual should be referred to for loadability procedures and/or limitations.
