ULD Build-up
ULD build-up at Sea-Air Logistics is taken very seriously with special emphasise on protecting:
- The cargo to ensure that the ULD arrives in the same condition at its' destination as it left our warehouse
- Safety (we have our own airline style scissor lift)
- The environment by using recyclable materials.
The ULD build-up requires special skills as the inside of an aircraft is the shape of a cylinder and to
maximise the space inside the aircraft, different styles of ULD are required to be used.
Once the ULD build-up has been completed, we then apply our own SAL security seals.
On average, throughout a year, we build-up over 13 ULDs per day.
ULD break-down for import shipments is also very important and the company has an office at HACTL to be
on-hand and to supervise the break-down of import ULDs at the airport 24 hours a day, seven days a week;
we have agreements with all of the major airlines to take delivery of the full ULDs and hence removal
from the airport to our warehouse.
At our warehouse, we can then unload the ULD in a controlled environment.
ULD Build-up
(1/8) ULD built to shape
The ULD is built up to be the correct shape and dimensions for it's position on the aircraft.
(2/8) Wrapping
Plastic film is used to contain the ULD.
Although thin, this film is very strong and so the cargo is held very securely.
(3/8) Added security
For added protection, a rope mesh is applied to the ULD and anchored firmly.
(4/8) Tamper evident packaging
Completely containing the contents, the rope mesh also acts as a tamper evident wrapper.
(5/8) Labelling
The barcoded label ensures efficent and correct processing of the ULD at all points during it's journey.
(6/8) Security seal
A Sea-Air Logistics security seal is added last to the completed ULD.
The security seal has to be partially destroyed to remove it.
This type of seal helps to ensure that your consignment is not tampered with or stolen from during its' journey.
(7/8) Handling at our warehouse
Sea-Air Logistics use an airline scissor lift at our warehouse to manoeuvre the ULD.
(8/8) Handling at the airports
As the ULD is handled in the same way throughout its' journey, there is less chance of accidental damage.
Safe and secure.
