Do any airlines or handling agents in the UK use these machines ? If so I'd be interested to read about any experiences of them, regardless of how good or bad they are.
Thankyou.

Hmm. Either no UK users have anything to say about Mallaghan or there are no UK users (on Pprune).

Menzies in MAN have a couple of mallaghan loaders. But technical issues makes them limit in use. Power Stow make a similar product which is very good for quick turn arounds and high capacity flights.

They use the belt loaders in MAN. I believe swissport LBA used them up till a few months ago. I don't think they were very user friendly. You had to
Stand up to drive it, massive blind spots and unreliable.

MENZIES in BRS had the Mallaghan Bendi Belts and I believe their experience was very good.
I have also saw them working with Swissport in GEN.
I believe that the Mallaghan 3rd and 4th generation units are much better and reliable than the 1st generation.

Guys at our station nearly have heart attacks driving the bendi belts to the A/C. Only 300 hours of operation since 2013 and mostly out of operation.
the IOM uses them,as an observer of turn rounds they seem ok until they bump into the aircraft
