PMC (P6P) — 96″ × 125″ Pallet
Large-format pallet (318 × 244 cm base). On the main deck of freighters it takes tall contours and large volumes; in the lower deck the usable height drops (~160 cm) and available volume falls to about 9–10 m³.
Spec sheet
Typical aircraft: B747F, B777F, B767, A330. Deck: Main deck / lower deck. Reference values (they vary by airline and configuration).
Typical use
Large-format pallet (318 × 244 cm base). On the main deck of freighters it takes tall contours and large volumes; in the lower deck the usable height drops (~160 cm) and available volume falls to about 9–10 m³.
With Chilean perishables
The workhorse of the cherry peak: it allows several towers of fruit boxes to be built up on dedicated freighters to China. In practice around 3,500–4,000 kg are loaded per pallet, not its structural maximum.
Advantages
- Maximum volume and weight per position
- Ideal for bulky fruit cargo on freighters
- Allows tall build-up on the main deck
Limitations
- Height and usable volume change significantly between main deck and lower deck
- Actual load (3,500–4,000 kg for cherries) falls well below the structural maximum due to density and floor loading
- Requires careful build-up and stowage (netting, contour, weight distribution)
