MANCHESTER AIRPORT PLC

Lödige supplies logistic systems specifically intended for handling parcels for air cargo. Our parcel and mail handling systems enable peaks in demand to be dealt with effectively on a daily basis. We adapt our high-throughput, space-saving systems to your specific requirements, attaching particular importance to quality and reliability in the process. At a recently completed parcel handling facility in Europe, Lödige installed a new sorting system that can handle more than 2,000 items per hour. The innovative sorter system was built in cooperation between Lödige Industries and Vanderlande and allows for faster handling of all post, express and pharmaceutical consignments. Lödige’s innovative system enables state-of-the-art parcel handling even in space restricted locations.

For non-mechanized terminals, slave pallets are an essential tool for handling and transporting ULDs. The pallets are equipped with four rows of 16 non-powered rollers. There is a non-slip treadplate between the rollers that allows the pallet to be walked on. Slave pallets can be transported using powered conveyor systems or the Lödige Mini and Lödige Robby, as well as using our slave pallet mover.

The slave pallet mover is an electrically operated floor conveyor for transporting slave pallets. It is powered by a battery and has a lifting unit for elevating pallets. Three forks ensure the ULDs are transferred safely. This means slave pallets can be moved throughout the building quickly and easily.

The truck dock from Lödige facilitates the loading and unloading of air cargo units onto and off trucks. Equipped with a hydraulic lifting unit and a vertical shift function, the truck dock brings conveyor elements into line with the truck loading ramp. ULDs or pallets are transferred horizontally by a powered roller conveyor. Depending on requirements, the conveyor can be replaced or combined with other technologies such as a ball deck or castor deck. A moving version of the truck dock is also available.
