How the PNA Half Pallet is used
A half pallet with square sides for the 767 lower hold, built to the PNA code.
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.
Cargo it usually takes
How this family is arranged
- A half pallet with square sides, sized for the 767 lower hold.
- A flat aluminium sheet base with hardened edge rails that lock into the aircraft restraint system.
- Cargo is built on the base and held by a net pulled onto the edge rails.
- A contoured build follows the hold profile. A squared-off build uses the full main-deck height.
- Wing variants add hinged or fixed-angle side extensions for cargo that hangs past the base.
Why operators pick it
- It takes cargo of almost any shape, because nothing encloses it.
- Empty weight is the lightest of any ULD for that footprint, so more of the allowance goes to cargo.
- Empty units stack flat, which keeps the cost of moving them back down.
Settle these points before you book
- The cargo is open and the net is the only restraint, so the quality of the build-up decides whether the load arrives whole.
- The finished load has to match the hold contour or it will not fit.
- Nets and edge rails wear. Both are checked before the unit is accepted.
