Lower Deck Containers
Lower deck containers are used in the lower deck
cargo spaces of high-capacity aircraft. They are fully structured and completely enclosed.
Freight is loaded into the container which may be equipped with shelves for accommodation
of small of irregularly shaped cargo.
The container doors, metal or fabric (or a combination), are closed, sealed and locked.
Containers are locked directly into the aircraft restraint systems without need for nets
or tiedowns.
