B747-400 Cargo
The Boeing 747-400 Cargo is a dedicated freighter variant of the iconic 747-400, known for its large cargo capacity and unique design features, including a nose that can be raised for “nose loading” of oversized cargo. With a maximum payload capacity of approximately 140 metric tons, it can carry a wide variety of freight, including large, heavy, and unusual items.
The 747-400 Freighter offers a range of 4,000 nautical miles and features a main deck cargo area with a volume of about 30,288 cubic feet. Its ability to carry large quantities of cargo over long distances makes it a vital asset for global air freight operations, especially in industries requiring heavy and oversized shipments. While production of the 747-400 Freighter has been discontinued, the aircraft remains in service with several cargo operators around the world.
