Baggage-handling equipment

Description

When an aircraft is to be loaded or unloaded, the personnel crawl around in long, narrow cargo spaces with very low ceiling height, and the personnel move heavy cases around in these cargo spaces. The belt loader must be capable of being used under all conditions and in connection with all types of passenger flights handled at Karup aviation station. It is a requirement that the belt loader must be electrical and run on battery power in order to avoid exhaust gases from a fuel-driven belt loader penetrating the cargo space, and thus impacting on the health of personnel. To achieve better optimised loading and unloading of aircraft cargo spaces — and to minimise the physical impact on personnel — a belt loader with snake is desired for accessing the cargo space on the aircraft.
