Japanese term or phrase: 搭載性

I don't have a sentence, but it is in a document relating to an assembly process; I think it means something like "the ease with which X can be attached/assembled". Does anyone know of a suitable technical word/phrase?

Ease of mounting

Explanation:
"Ease of mounting" scores more hits on Google than "mountability" (which came to mind first). Neither of these sounds particularly nice in English, but you may as well stick to the meaning of the original Japanese instead of stretching it too far.

Ease of loading, Size

Explanation:
搭載 - tousai - is a verb, to load something on or into something else
性 - sei - is the "nature" of this that something has.

So, put crudely, the "loadability" of something. That is, how easy it is to put, or load, something into or onto something else.

EG on a NASA website I found a passage that might have this rough translation - "Considering the loadability of the module into the rocket, the antenna is made to fold."

However, there is no such word as loadability, and indeed I cannot think of an exact match in English. Depending upon the context, I would go with something as simple as "size" or "ease of loading," (which is what the actual translation of the above line did).

I put the link, you can swap between English and Japanese and the top of the page

Obviously 搭載 as a verb should have する after it ^-^
