GUANGZHOU – ULD CARE, the association that represents and advocates for owners, operators and suppliers of Unit Load Devices (ULD), has announced two new tools to help ULD operators improve safety and reduce damage – the Strap App and the Wind Speed Calculator. The announcement was made by ULD CARE at its 2018 annual Members Conference.
“These two new tools build on our commitment to helping the air cargo industry and align with the principles of our Code of Conduct,” says Urs Wiesendanger, President of ULD CARE. “We will be adding these to our list of solutions and promoting them widely to the industry.”
ULD CARE announced the Code of Conduct, 10 guiding principles for optimal handling of ULDs, at its 2017 Members Conference.
“The Strap App offers users guidance on how to properly secure non-ULD cargo within an aircraft, such as vehicles and equipment,” says Bob Rogers, Vice-President of the association, who lead the development of the tools. “The Wind Speed calculator allows users to determine whether or not a ULD is at risk of being blow off the ramp during loading and unloading.”
The Strap App is available in the iTunes stores, with an Android version coming soon. The Wind Speed Calculator is available on ULD CARE’s website at www.uldcare.com/container-wind-tipping-risk-calculator/.
