Military Pallets

463L Next Generation All Aluminum Pallet

The Next Generation 463L All Aluminum pallet brings new technology to the military air cargo transportation world. The ruggedized all-aluminum metal pallet eliminates months of downtime caused by repairs needed by using soft balsa wood cores of the legacy pallets. The Next gen useful life is 10 years without a repair (other than D-rings). The next generation all-aluminum construction with Friction Stir Welding technology brings the Warfighter a 100% mission “go” and minimizes the effects of harsh Combat environments.
