Air Cargo Handling Systems
ETV
Specifically designed for the efficient Storage and Retrieval of ULDs and Air Cargo Pallets. The ETV functions are to store all types of ULDs and Pallets on multiple levels using friction driven or motorised roller decks with a capacity of up to 14,000 kg.
The storage, transfer, sorting and retrieval of cargo between the warehouse and the airside is fully automated with interfaces to the airline and WMS.
All vehicle movements are guided by the Inventory Control System with a possibility of operator override manual mode. The ETV is built on a central rail system between the high-bay storage aisles, with a lifting platform designed for 10, 15 and 20ft powered roller decks with an operator cabin.
Conveyors and portals
Conveyor measures and captures the level, the volume, the appearance and the weight of the cargo in a continuous process. It can be installed in flush-mounted chain systems in which trucks are used for transportation. This is a flexible and modular concept with flexibility that allows easy installation in new and existing plants. The identification of the parcels can be measured via automatic or manual barcode reading on transponders (RFID) or via a direct connection to the material flow control of the conveyor system.
Lowerable workstation
This workstation enables efficient build-up and breakdown of ULDs. The handling capability is 10, 15, or 20ft ULDs.
The workstations will be installed in the breakdown area. The workstations are placed in a way to optimise the access with the vehicles. The workstations will be controlled via control panel located within the top cover of the lateral pit.
The workstation consists of 10ft Roller-Decks built on a scissors lift (2x10ft roller decks for 20ft WS). The workstation has reinforced bearings and rollers with a thickness of the wall of 4 mm. The transport of the load, with its various dimensions, weight and load conditions, is carried out such that the movement of the load is shock free and without damage.
The main components of the workstation are:

Express Handling Systems
Ball, castor, Gravity and Roller Decks
Designed to manually and safely transfer the cargo pallets and ULDs in omni-directions within the warehouse by interfacing with different cargo handling equipment. The modular design depends on the customers’ requirements and is usually manufactured in modules for ease of transportation, installation and expansion/relocation, if necessary. The decks are usually equipped with accessories such as built-in weighing scales, ram protections, volume measuring devices and other various options.
The conveying of ULDs within the warehouse or to the ramp, the heavy duty Roller Decks are built of height adjustable legs to support a conveying height of 208/508 mm. The roller decks can be motor or gravity operating for the staging of cargo with different dimensions ranging from 5 to 20ft and a capacity of up to 1,400 kg.
ULD Pallet Mover
The flexible Pallet Master “Donkey” is a concept which comprises a ULD moving unit and its Slave Pallets and offers a conveying height 508 mm. The ULD or air cargo load is placed on a Slave Pallet either for purposes of build-up or break -down, or for cargo transportation purposes. When transportation of the air cargo is necessary the Slave Pallet containing the cargo is moved by the Donkey which consists of a battery driven vehicle equipped with specially designed forks for carrying the Slave Pallets.
This allows the user to move heavy goods around the warehouse safely on the Slave Pallets (app. dim 3350 x 2620 mm) and most significantly will give them the ability to fully control their ULD operations. This model quoted is a ride-on version.
The Donkey and Slave Pallets are designed such that the forks of the moving unit will be inserted underneath the Slave Pallet; Slave Pallets are easily stackable for storage purposes
The Donkey has three forks for stability and heavy duty carrying capacity
The Donkey can turn on one point therefore using the minimum turning radius possible with and without a Slave Pallet load
The Donkey has forward and reverse travel controls, and it has relatively high speed capability
The Donkey has a load capacity of 7.5 tons (6.8 tons plus weight of Slave Pallet)
The Donkey does not have a weighing unit or digital indicator on-board as according to our experience, the calibration of this unit will be an issue and a huge recurrence. The pallet can be weighed in another location and the Donkey will be used only as a mean of transportation.
This concept enables the user to do the build-up / break-down of ULD on the pallets smoothly and efficiently and minimizes damage to the ULD and goods. The moving unit is battery operated and contains indication of the battery charge status
Heavy duty Belt conveyors and Roller curve conveyors
The major use of belt conveyors is for heavy duty conveying applications. They are particularly suitable for the transport of packed and unpacked unit loads of a variety of shapes and sizes. Long life and high reliability as well as smooth running at a low noise level allows the successful handling of loads in materials flow applications.
Slave pallet
The Slave Pallet is used is Air Cargo preparation to transport, loading and unloading of ULDs.
The usage of the Slave Pallets is very versatile. It can be used as a mobile Workstation for build-up and break down of ULDs and Cargo Pallets and as a Storage media (single or staged). Staging pallets is very useful where several Slave Pallets enable the quick load and unload of a truck or the fast receipt and dispatch of ULDs to/from the ULD system.
When not in use, the Slave Pallets are easily stackable for storage to save floor space.
The Slave Pallets are designed for heavy loads with heavy duty rollers for transportation of up to 6.8 tons of cargo. The advantage of the Slave Pallet is the mobility and the flexibility of the overall system. The operator is free to combine the components for an economic configuration, as required in special situations.

Fully Automated Car Park Systems
The system allows a customer to give the maximum number of car park spaces in a given area. The automation in the system requires very less tolerances between cars during the storage and retrieval process. A typical conventional parking space requires more car park space in order to avoid accidents while the automation generally needs about 50% less space and allows the client to save space and related costs.
These systems have to be designed in the conceptual/design stage of a project and generally requires several rounds of discussions with different parties involved to get the best solution based on operational parameters.
