When should a pallet train be utilized for palletizing cargo?

A pallet train should be utilized for palletizing cargo when the cargo cannot support itself or if it is 10 feet or greater. This situation often arises with oversized or fragile items that lack the structural integrity to remain stable on their own. In cases where the cargo is above this height or is deemed unstable, using a pallet train ensures that the load is safely secured and manageable for transport.

Additionally, pallet trains allow for multiple pallets to be coupled together, which increases the stability and efficiency of handling large or unsteady loads. Proper palletization addresses safety concerns and enhances the ease of moving cargo throughout the transport process, ensuring adherence to best practices in air freight operations.
