Empty-weight comparison
GCFP weight status: Engineering-calculated
Reference weight depends on manufacturer, materials and configuration. Calculated or estimated weights are identified above. Maximum gross weight includes the container and cargo.
AVULD A2 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: A2 contoured container; IATA code DAA; classification A2. Chart internal volume 12.6 m³ (444 ft³ as printed); maximum gross 6033 kg (13300 lb as printed). Chart envelope labels 125 × 88 × 79 in. Imperial and metric figures are rounded and may differ.
Aircraft applications updated 25 October 2026: Legacy chart references for DAA A2: Boeing 747/747F, DC-8, DC-10 and Airbus A300/F. No newer aircraft compatibility is asserted. Boeing 747-8F, 777F/777-8F, 787, Airbus A330 freighters and A350F require confirmation of DAA contour, door clearance, deck and restraint system.
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.
