This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes three classes of pallets:
a. Type A, Air only Pallet
b. Type B, Platform Pallet (Air/Surface Intermodal)
c. Type C, Adapter Pallet
Pallets will have nominal dimension of:
a. Size F pallet (10 ft) (NAS 3610-2F1P) - 2.44 m x 2.99 m (96 in x 117.75 in)
b. Size R pallet (16 ft) (NAS 3610-2R1P) - 2.44 m x 4.98 m (96 in x 196 in)
c. Size G pallet (20 ft) (NAS 3610-2G1P) - 2.44 m x 6.06 m (96 in x 238.5 in)
d. Size H pallet (30 ft) (NAS 3610-2H1P) - 2.44 m x 9.12 m (96 in x 359.25 in)
e. Size J pallet (40 ft) (NAS 3610-2J1P) - 2.44 m x 12.19 m (96 in x 480 in)
Type A, Air only pallets, will normally be on aircraft equivalent roller conveying systems and/or on
similarly equipped ancillary ground handling devices.
Type B, Platform pallets, are suitable for air/surface handling and transport systems. Supplementary
requirements for Type B version are found in Section 4.
Type C, Adapter pallets, are used to adapt 2.44 m x 2.44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) surface mode only containers
for transport. Supplementary requirements for Type C version are found in Section 5.
NOTE: Use of the adapter pallet with surface mode only 2.44 m x 2.44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) containers may
require uniform load distribution on the base cross members of these containers for carriage
on certain aircraft. The aircraft approved Weight and Balance Manual should be referred to
for loadability procedures or limitations, or both.
1.1 Purpose:
This Aerospace Standard (AS) provides dimensional, structural, and environmental requirements for
2.44 m (8 ft) wide pallets to be used in freighter versions of certificated aircraft equipped to provide
restraint to pallets tested to the requirements of NAS 3610 Class II restraint system. It is also
intended to be compatible with 2.44 m x 2.44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) cross section containers described in
AS832. The Type C adapter pallet is intended to be compatible with 2.44 m x 2.44 m (8 ft x 8 ft)
cross section containers described in ANSI MH 5.1, Cargo Containers and ISO 1496 Series 1,
Freight Containers. Pallet nets used in conjunction with these pallets are described in AS1131. The
minimum essential criteria are identified by use of the key word "shall". Recommended criteria are
identified by use of the key word "should", and while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary
importance in providing serviceable, economical, and practical air transport pallets. Deviation from
recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, and thorough
service evaluation have shown alternate methods to be satisfactory.strRefField
