AAY Collapsible Container

AAY Collapsible
Main Deck

Designed to address the global imbalance in ULD stocks and to help ULD fleet managers optimise the efficiency of their fleets, our collapsible AAY ULD is the first of its kind to be certified by a civil aviation authority.

This unique, main-deck AAY ULD can be set up and folded down in seconds, yet it has the same capacity as a standard AAY. When collapsed, it can be stacked, shipped and stored in the most space-efficient way possible.

FAQ

How do you collapse the collapsible AAY?

It is quick and safe to fold the collapsible AAY. All you have to do is release the stud fittings and locks, then fold the panels inwards, making sure the cover and straps are tucked in neatly. Watch this instruction video to see how easy it is.

How much time does it take to fold it down or put it back up?
It takes just two minutes and two people to fold it down or put it back up.
Does the collapsible AAY have the same internal volume as the standard version?
The internal volume is the same in both versions, so the collapsible AAY can carry the same amount of cargo as the standard AAY.
Is the collapsible AAY as durable as the standard version?
The collapsible AAY is just as sturdy and long-lasting as the standard AAY. The panels are made of tough aluminium, and plastic protection strips prevent damage once it is stacked.
How high can you stack the AAY once it is collapsed?

When folded, the collapsible AAY can be stacked up to four high on the main deck of an A320, B757 and B737, up to six high on the lower deck of a B747, and up to eight high in a regular 40ft shipping container.

Is the collapsible AAY watertight?
The cover of the collapsible AAY is completely watertight to protect your cargo from the rain. The pallet base has drain holes to remove any surface water.
