Cargo Systems

In 1966, the award of the original, lower lobe cargo system for the Boeing 747 firmly established us as a major cargo handling system manufacturer. Since then we have produced more cargo systems for commercial airlines than any other company in the world.

This record has been achieved through:

  • innovative design and manufacturing technology,
  • uncompromising quality,
  • dedication to on-time delivery, and
  • breadth of experience and systems capability.

A cargo handling system conveys and secures containerised and palletised cargo on an aircraft for fast and easy loading and unloading. Cargo systems are installed on the lower deck on passenger aircraft and also the main deck of freighter aircraft.

A typical system consists of: conveyor rollers and tracks, side rail guides, side and end latches, power drive units (PDUs) and a PDU control unit.

Applications include: complete systems, subsystems and/or components for Boeing, Airbus Industrie, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, and de Havilland.
