As weve seen in the eLearning, we need to configure boxes so that we get as many as possible in a ULD. In the following example, we load a 40 foot container for shipment on a wide body aircraft. Determine the load planning configuration to get the maximum number of boxes into the aircraft. Container dimensions Length Width Height " " " Package dimensions Length " Width " Height "

We have a standard 40 (FEU) that has internal dimensions of 473" x 91 x 93 high and boxes 36 long x 27 wide x 24 high.

We can put the boxes so the 36 side is across the container and the 27 side is lengthwise in the container But an even better way is to put two boxes widthwise and one lengthwise to get: 27 + 27 + 36 = 90 in a container width of 91 (a perfect fit)

1 ) How many boxes total? ___________

2) Volume Fill = cargo volume/container volume x 100 = __________

please explain in detail.
