THE MANCHESTER AIRPORT GROUP 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.

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.

The storage and retrieval vehicle is used for storing ULDs in racking. Equipped with a lift, the Elevating Transfer Vehicle transports ULDs vertically and horizontally at the same time. It is guided by rails which also supply the power needed.
