Abstract: A freight container configured to fit in an aircraft cargo hold includes a floor element. First and second parallel side walls extend away from first and second opposite edges of the floor element base surface. A top wall, parallel to a floor element resting surface, extends between edges of the first and second side walls, which edges are remote from the first and second edges. A front wall extends between the first and second side walls from a base surface third edge to a top wall front edge. The front wall has a first front wall portion, extending from the base surface third edge at a first angle of at least 90° to the resting surface. The front wall has a second front wall portion, extending from the top wall front edge at a second angle of less than 180° and more than 90° to the top wall.

Abstract: A freight carrier configured to be received in an aircraft cargo hold, a system of one or more such freight carriers and a receiving platform, and a platform, are each provided. The freight carrier includes a floor element having a resting surface configured to lie on a floor surface of a cargo hold of an aircraft. The freight carrier is configured such that its resting surface can be moved over a floor surface in a floor plane. The floor element has a base element having a base surface. The base surface is situated on the base element such that the base surface faces away from the resting surface. The resting surface is provided with an arrangement to allow the freight carrier to be slid over the floor surface. The floor element has a cavity which extends toward the base surface between the front portion and the rear portion.

Abstract: A cargo loading platform for an aircraft, with a plate-like supporting structure, which is configured to support or to receive cargo, and a lifting device. The lifting device is arranged asymmetrically on the plate-like supporting structure and can be moved from a stowage position to a lifting position. In the stowage position, the lifting device is arranged here above a lower side of the plate-like supporting structure and, in the lifting position, is at least partially arranged below the lower side of the plate-like supporting structure. This permits asymmetrical raising of the plate-like supporting structure by the lifting device, as a result of which steps during the transportation of the cargo loading platform can be easily and rapidly overcome. Furthermore, a cargo loading apparatus and a cargo container each with such a cargo loading platform, and also an aircraft with such a cargo loading apparatus are described.
