Goodrich manufactures cargo systems that are durable, including its lightweight latches for the DC-10 and early MD-11. For the later MD-11 with the Goodrich Lightweight Cargo Handling System (LCHS), a locking feature is incorporated which ensures the latch cannot collapse inadvertently when a ULD comes in contact. The latches are Boeing DPD approved and many are supplied as aircraft original equipment. 

These latches are available from the industry leader in innovative solutions for your cargo systems needs.
