Slave Pallet

Heavy-duty ULD handling with a 7,000 kg rated capacity

The Hydeng GSE Aircraft Cargo Slave Pallet provides a robust, low-profile platform for transferring, staging and handling aircraft unit load devices in airport cargo terminals, freight warehouses and ground handling facilities.

Rated to carry up to 7,000 kg without structural deflection, the platform combines a galvanised structural steel frame with heavy-duty rollers and configurable container stops.

The standard configuration accommodates an extensive range of ULDs, while Hydeng GSE can design a customised loading arrangement for other container and pallet types.

Efficient ULD transfer and staging

Slave pallets provide an intermediate roller platform for moving unit load devices between compatible cargo-handling systems, storage positions and operational staging areas.

The Hydeng GSE Slave Pallet has a platform height of 175 mm and uses 76 mm outside-diameter rollers to support the movement of compatible ULDs.

Container stops help restrain the load in the required position. The stop arrangement and roller configuration can be designed around the ULDs used within an individual operation.

Compatible unit load devices

The standard slave pallet configuration can accommodate the following ULD types:

  • AAA
  • AAK
  • ABB
  • AKE
  • AEV
  • AAP
  • DFQ
  • AEP
  • DLF
  • AA2
  • P1P
  • PAG
  • PAP
  • PAJ
  • P1G
  • P6P
  • PMC
  • AAU

ULD compatibility should be confirmed against the applicable container or pallet dimensions, weight, orientation and operational handling requirements before use.

Custom configurations for other ULDs

Hydeng GSE can manufacture slave pallets to carry other ULD types.

The team can develop an appropriate roller layout, platform size and stop configuration based on the customer’s operational requirements and load information.

When requesting a custom slave pallet, customers should provide:

  • ULD type or identification code
  • Overall load dimensions
  • Maximum loaded weight
  • Required orientation
  • Transfer direction
  • Position of adjoining handling equipment
  • Restraint requirements
  • Relevant technical drawings
  • Available installation space

This allows Hydeng to develop a loading configuration suited to the intended handling process.
