Designed to Perform. Built to last.
enCate Advanced Armor USA (New-
ark, Ohio) has signed a teaming
agreement with Air Cargo Contain-
ers LLC (Phoenix, Ariz.) to manufacture
lightweight air cargo containers. TenCate
will supply the composite materials and
perform container manufacturing and
assembly at its Ohio facilities.
The already fully certifed, lightweight,
composite air cargo carriers have a tare
weight of 480 lb/218 kg, about 350 lb less
than that of competing aluminum con-
tainers — a 42 percent weight savings.
Air Cargo Containers was granted the
U.S. Federal Aviation Admin.'s (FAA)
Technical Standard Order (TSO C90d)
certifcation for its lightweight compos-
ite AMJ model Unit Load Device (ULD) in
December 2013. It is the frst all-compos-
ite container to receive FAA certifcation.
Constructed of proprietary composite
side panels and foor panel, built around
an aerospace-grade aluminum frame,
the ULD features a patented roll-up
door with "destruction-proof" side glides
and lock-down features for safety in op-
eration. The lightweight, durable, fame-
retardant design reportedly reduces
container maintenance and, therefore,
lifecycle costs.
"The key composite materials used in
Air Cargo Containers' proprietary con-
tainer have been selected and optimized,
utilizing the knowledge TenCate has in
engineering advanced armor systems,"
said Mark Edwards, president of TenCate
Advanced Armor. "Our advanced materi-
als create a structurally strong yet light-
weight container that enables users to
