The Boeing 747-400F is the dedicated air freighter version of the popular wide-body aircraft line. Its capacity, range, versatility, and service requirements are very well known. The aircraft is an excellent choice to address diverse operational needs requiring large or heavy cargo and has more capacity than almost every other freighter in the world.

----------
The 400F is easily distinguished from the passenger versions by its shorter upper-deck hump and lack of windows along the main deck. The aircraft has a mechanized cargo handling system and a large main deck nose door that swings up so pallets or containers up to 40 feet in length can be loaded straight into the aircraft on motor-driven rollers. The main deck side cargo door allows loading of dimensionally taller containers, and the lower deck side door allows loading of containers up to 64 inches in height.
As a popular and established aircraft, the 747 can take advantage of a solid network of global parts availability and service maintenance facilities, meaning the aircraft is subject to fewer delays due to mechanical issues. This reliability and serviceability are particularly valuable when shipping high-value goods and cargo on very tight delivery schedules.
CARGO CAPACITY AND ACCESS
The 747-400F’s design allows it to carry heavy and oversize air shipments in two distinct areas of the aircraft for a combined weight of approximately 274,000 pounds and a combined volume of approximately 24,000 cubic feet.
TYPES OF CARGO
The large, temperature-controlled cargo spaces on the 747-400F are ideal for transporting high-value cargo including:
Machinery, vehicles, and palletized goods.
Electronics and high-value goods.
Automotive and oversized machinery parts.
Perishable goods like seafood and pharmaceuticals.
