LD-29 Reefer FAQ

The LD-29 Reefer is a lower-deck container with the IATA code RAU, rated Type 5. The code is what an airline books, weighs and handles the unit by.

Around 11.1 m³ of usable volume, up to 6,033 kg gross — the unit and its cargo together. The unit itself weighs 450 kg empty, so the payload is the difference between the two.

It is loaded on 747. A type is certified per aircraft and sometimes per door, so a unit that fits one freighter will not always fit another.

Track the shipment rather than the unit: the air waybill number is what the airline reports against. Enter it in the air tracking app, or make the same lookup one REST call with the API reference.
