We claim: 1. A ball panel housing for use in a load handling system, the ball panel housing comprising: a top skin having at least one raised support, the raised support having a top surface; a corrugation having a plurality of side walls, the corrugation supporting the top skin; and a ramp between the top skin and top surface; where the raised support is configured to contain a ball transfer unit, and where the corrugation further comprises at least one flange that extends from the side wall, the flange being in contact with the top skin. 2. The ball panel housing of claim 1 where the flanges have at least one flange hole for alignment with at least one alignment hole on the top skin. 3. The ball panel housing of claim 1, where the corrugation is formed from a single sheet of metal. 4. A ball panel housing for use in a load handling system, the ball panel housing comprising: a top skin having at least one raised support, the raised support having a top surface; a corrugation having a plurality of side walls, the corrugation supporting the top skin; and a ramp between the top skin and top surface; where the raised support is configured to contain a ball transfer unit; and where the corrugation has a pre-folded configuration having a generally rectangular and symmetrical shape, with two arcuate sections on each of a top and a bottom, the arcuate sections having exterior edges, and two side sections that extend beyond a line formed by the exterior edges of each of the arcuate sections. 5. A ball panel housing for use in a load handling system, the ball panel housing comprising: a top skin having at least one raised support, the raised support having a top surface; and a corrugation having a plurality of side walls, the corrugation supporting the top skin; a ramp between the top skin and top surface; where the raised support is configured to contain a ball transfer unit, and further comprising a bottom skin that supports the side walls of the corrugation, where the bottom skin has at least one boss for alignment with at least one hole in a bottom portion of the corrugation. 6. A ball panel housing for use in a load handling system, the ball panel housing comprising: a top skin having at least one raised support, the raised support having a top surface; and a corrugation having a plurality of side walls, the corrugation supporting the top skin; a ramp between the top skin and top surface; where the raised support is configured to contain a ball transfer unit, and further comprising a bottom skin that supports the side walls of the corrugation, where the corrugation further comprises at least one closeout, the closeout in contact with the bottom skin, the corrugation and the top skin. 7. A ball panel for use in a cargo bay of an aircraft, the ball panel comprising: a housing having a top skin, the top skin having at least one annular ring, the annular ring having a top surface and a support lip; a ball transfer unit, contained within the annular ring and having a protruding ball, and an annular cover having a shoulder; the annular ring having a ramp between the top skin and the top surface; where the shoulder is supported by the support lip, both of which extend substantially circumferentially within the annular ring, and where the housing further comprises a corrugation supporting the top skin, the corrugation having a plurality of side walls, folded ends and at least one flange. 8. The ball panel of claim 7, where the corrugation has a pre-folded configuration having a generally rectangular and symmetrical shape, with two arcuate sections on each of a top and a bottom, the arcuate sections having exterior edges, and two side sections that extend beyond a line formed by the exterior edges of each of the arcuate sections.
