airport cargo handling cover sheet
An air cargo cover sheet is a protective material used to cover and secure goods during air transportation. Its primary purpose is to shield cargo from environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations, moisture, and contaminants, as well as to protect against physical damage during handling and transit
Common Types of Air Cargo Cover Sheets:
- Thermal Blankets/Insulated Covers: Designed for temperature-sensitive products such as pharmaceuticals, perishable foods, and electronics. They are made from insulated materials to prevent drastic temperature changes.
- Plastic Tarpaulins: These covers provide general protection against moisture, dirt, and physical damage. They are often used for non-temperature-sensitive goods.
- Metalized Film Covers: Reflective covers made from metalized films are used to protect goods from radiant heat and UV rays, which is especially useful for goods on the tarmac under direct sunlight.
- Shrink Wrap: Sometimes used as a secondary or primary covering for air cargo to secure items to a pallet and protect them from dust, dirt, or light moisture.
