Empty-weight comparison

Conventional ULD reference empty weight185 kg / 407.9 lb
Collapsible GCFP ULD empty weight108 kg / 238.1 lb
Weight saved against reference77 kg / 169.8 lb41.6% reduction

GCFP weight status: Engineering-calculated

Reference basis: Published individual specification

Reference weight depends on manufacturer, materials and configuration. Calculated or estimated weights are identified above. Maximum gross weight includes the container and cargo.

AVULD LD11 is part of Avimetal’s proposed collapsible graphene carbon fiber ULD range, designed to reduce empty-container weight and storage space. Contact Avimetal for development, manufacturing and partnership inquiries.

Supplied chart: Rectangular full-width container; IATA code ALP; classification LD11; rate class Type 6. Chart internal volume 7.2 m³ (263 ft³ as printed); maximum gross 3176 kg (7002 lb as printed). Chart envelope labels 125 × 60.4 × 64 in. Imperial and metric figures are rounded and may differ.

Aircraft applications updated 25 October 2026: Conventional ALP container references: Boeing 747 and 777; chart also lists Airbus A300, A310, A330, A340, DC-10, MD-11 and L1011. Boeing 787/777X, Airbus A330-800/-900, A350-900/-1000 and A350F require ALP-specific confirmation. A published 60.4 x 125 in PLA pallet listing does not establish compatibility of an enclosed LD11 ALP container.

Aircraft scope: A320neo/A321neo (including LR/XLR variants) use reduced-height LD3-45W/AKH configurations where a container loading system is installed; the full-height 64 in ULDs in this catalog are not interchangeable with LD3-45. Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A220 are not added as standard lower-hold applications for this catalog.
