Containers are typically lightweight structures comprising a structure of aluminium extrusions, a relatively thick aluminium  base sheet, aluminium or composite side and roof panels, and a fabric or metal door. By necessity they are made as light as possible, however they may be subjected to extremely severe handling conditions. Once placed on the ground, any ULD is highly vulnerable to damage in an unforgiving airport/ air cargo operating environment. The rapid growth of air travel, especially air cargo, over the past 10 years has resulted in some ULDs being handled in substandard facilities using inappropriate handling practices resulting in damages which is hazardous to aircraft safety. The result is improper storage of ULD resulting in tens of millions of dollars of damages annually.
