Aerotuf

Aerotuf is a freight forwarding service in Charleston, SC. The company designs and supplies aircraft unit load devices (ULDs) that are both durable and lightweight, helping airlines cut ULD costs, reduce weight, and improve operational efficiency. Its product line includes the AeroBOX container, the AeroTHERM temperature‑protective container, composite panels, frameless structures, forklift‑proof curtains, and a composite ULD pallet. Aerotuf serves airline customers seeking long‑term cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint, and it has been recognized as a runner‑up for an air‑cargo innovation award.

The firm emphasizes quality, sustainability, and customer partnership in its operations. All products meet high‑quality standards and are backed by the industry’s only 10‑year warranty on composite panel materials, with a three‑year warranty on other parts. Aerotuf maintains a recycling program that can reclaim nearly all material after a container’s service life. Spare‑part consignment ensures components are available without markup, and the company provides assembly and operational training for new ULD solutions. Its values, quality, sustainability, customers first, agility, and teamwork, guide a collaborative approach that adds value for partners. Leadership includes President Tom Pherson, who holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering and has overseen innovations such as the first frameless ULD design and the AeroTHERM container.
