Blazing a trail in ULD testing

To prove our containers will perform exactly as we say they will, we subject them to extensive testing. The ULD testing process can be lengthy and complex, but our engineering teams are extremely resourceful. That’s how we got our AAY container to meet the latest fire-resistant specifications in ETSO c90e. In this video, we show you how we put all our ULDs through their paces, from drenching them in water to setting them on fire. Never say we don’t enjoy our work!

FAQ

Can I customise the AAY container?

Yes, you can! Several options are available, such as the colour of the pull straps and bergo flooring. Download the brochure to see all the ways you can customise your AAY container.

Is the AAY certified for airworthiness?
Yes, the AAY Roll-up Door has been fully certified by EASA, which means it can be directly restrained by the aircraft’s Cargo Loading System.
Is the AAY certified for fire containment?
Yes, it complies with AS8992 and ESTO-C90e, which set out the minimum standards for fire containment covers used in the cargo compartments of civil transport aircraft. In other words, a Class A fire that starts inside the AAY Roll-up Door can be contained for at least six hours

 

Is the roll-up door safe and easy to open?

Absolutely! Just one person can open and close the door in a couple of seconds. Watch this video to see how safe and easy it really is.

Is the roll-up door durable?
The AAY’s roll-up door (made of high performance technical textile) may be flexible, but our extensive testing has proved it to be extremely hard-wearing. What’s more, it has no steel cables, making it more durable than other roll-up doors. Steel cables are often the culprit in roll-up door problems.
Does the door’s fire-resistant material cause skin irritation?
No, it does not. We know that fabrics treated with flame retardants can cause skin irritation in some people, so we use a coated material to avoid this problem. In addition, the door requires less handling than a regular cover and net, so there is less physical contact.

How secure is this ULD?

The AAY has a lock bar equipped with mounting options for a customs seal to prevent unauthorised entrance.
