Jun 15, 2009 (newstodate): The Norwegian ULD manufacturer Nordisk Aviation Products has today unveiled its re-engineered and improved version of the Nordisk Ultralite AKE container.
The refined Nordisk Ultralite ULD has a tare weight of 55 kg, which is more than 25 percent lower than standard aluminium AKE containers, and 15 percent lower than alternative light weight AKE containers.
The low weight is a result of the combination of high-tech fiber materials with high strength tensile aluminium alloys, without compromising sturdiness and strength.
The panels of the new ULD are made from a proprietary process using the same materials found in bulletproof vests, rotor blades and aircraft cockpit doors.
Nordisk Aviation Products has to date sold more than 650,000 ULDs to the global market, including 40,000 light weight composite containers
