How can we help you?

If you transport any type of cargo by air, you are required by the civil aviation authorities to use a Unit Load Device (ULD). ULDs maximise an aircraft’s cargo space and ensure your cargo will not damage the plane. They also protect your cargo, help keep track of its location and ownership, and make loading and unloading much easier. ULDs come as containers or pallet/net combinations, and they can convey any type of cargo, from express mail and perishable goods to horses and hi-tech equipment.

A Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) nearly always requires cargo to be transported in a certified Unit Load Device (ULD). If a ULD is certified, the CAA knows that it is airworthy. In other words, it’s tough enough to handle anything that might occur during a flight. The CAA wants to be sure that the ULD won’t endanger the aircraft’s structure and systems. At VRR, we design and manufacture every one of our ULDs to comply with the regulations set by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

A Unit Load Device is considered an aircraft part, so it can only be manufactured or repaired by an approved manufacturer. VRR has been creating perfect-fit solutions for the air cargo industry for decades, and we’re certified to design, manufacture and repair air cargo-related equipment under EASA requirements. We have the finest designers, engineers and technicians in the field, which is why we excel in precision engineering, ULD certification and high-tech manufacturing. Our rigorous standards are held in high regard throughout the aviation industry.

Our Dutch roots explain our no-nonsense approach to business. Customers appreciate our practical attitude and our readiness to invest time in understanding their logistical needs. Come to us and we’ll get to know your company, preferences and priorities before translating your specifications into a perfect-fit ULD.

Due to the wealth of expertise at VRR, we often find ourselves in the role of advisor and partner in development. Our highly skilled staff keep up to date with industry developments, take an active part in regulatory meetings and industry conferences and forums, and share knowledge with others.

Unlike other Unit Load Devices available on the market, our air cargo products can only be bought. We don’t lease because we believe that owning your equipment is a much better way to invest your capital. Purchasing a quality Unit Load Device from VRR delivers a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which give you better value in the long run. That’s money you can spend on other opportunities.

VRR provides a one-year warranty for defects or non-conformities that result from faulty design, materials or workmanship. For more information, please fill in the above contact form and ask for our general conditions (Orgalime S2012).

There’s no standard lead time for producing a ULD. The lead time will be stated in your customised quote.

ULDs are built to withstand extreme conditions. Even so, they can get damaged. Once that happens, they’re at risk of being declared ‘not airworthy’. However, you can improve your ULDs’ performance and lifespan by using the services of our certified repair facility in Amsterdam. It repairs and maintains the following products for a variety of airlines, operators and manufacturers, regardless of OEM:

• Lower and main-deck baggage and cargo containers
• Air cargo pallets
• Horse stables for air transport
• Temperature-controlled cool containers
