The dimensions of an LD9: 125″ long x 88″ wide x 64″ high.
Our shipment is comprised of boxes that are 11″ long x 7″ wide x 13″ high. Also, most of the cases boxes can only be turned not flipped.
We can put the boxes so the 11″ side is facing lengthwise in the container and the 8″ side is facing the width of the container. This gives us:
A (length) = 125″ (ULD dimension) / 11″ (box dimension) = 11 boxes long
B (width) = 88″ (ULD dimension) / 7″ (box dimension) = 12 boxes wide
C (height) = 64″ (ULD dimension) / 13″ (box dimension) = 4 boxes high
Answer the following questions:
If we orient the boxes this way, how many boxes can we fit?
A long by B wide by C high =
2. What percentage of the ULD is used this way?
ULD/container usage = cargo volume x 100 = __________%
container volume
3. If we orient the boxes the other way (turning the boxes 90 degrees), how many boxes can we fit now?
B long by A wide by C high =
4. How much is the ULD usage this way?
ULD/container usage = cargo volume x 100 = __________%
container volume
5. The experienced load planner sees unused space in the ULD (potential to increase ULD usage) and turns the boxes on the very last row in both configurations. The better choice relies on the second configuration (calculated in question 3) with the very last ones turned (where there was the 7″ dimension facing the 125″ length there is 11″ dimension now)
How many boxes can fit now? ___________
6. How much is the ULD usage this way?
ULD/container usage = cargo volume x 100 = __________%
container volume
7. Is the final ULD/container usage acceptable?
8. If we determine that our weight is far below the capacity of the aircraft, can you think of ways we can change our load plan that would improve our percentage fill for the container?
