Container loader

Also known as a "cargo loader"; "K loader"; "K. loader" or "K-loader". The loader for widebodied aircraft (cargo platform) is used for loading and unloading of cargo placed in containers or on pallet. The loader has two platforms which independently raise or come down. The containers or palettes on the loader are moved with the help of built-in rollers or wheels, and are carried in aircraft across the platforms. The ground handling is different in the different areas. In Northern and South America the pallet is dominating and in Europe and Asia the container is stronger in use. [Ground support equipment.
