I've heared aboud this belt loader a few times and wondered about it's actual use and inplications on staffing levels...... I think FMC manufacture it.

Any info would be great!!

I would have thought that to allow this things use on an aircraft you are asking for trouble - theres enough damage caused by normal belt loaders let alone one that goes right into the hold

Cheers for the link...

Not so sure about your sentiment towards peoples backs etc verses a/c damage!!!

I've always been told that if there's a piece of equipment available that can make your job easier / safer, then use it!! A person is harder to fix than a mechanical object....

Woyld like to hear of anyone who uses this!!!!

Cheers
