ULD Handling Equipment
Precision and Strength for ULD Movements
Our ULD handling systems ensure smooth, safe and IATA-compliant transfer of Unit Load Devices throughout the terminal. From build & break areas to automated storage and airside transfer, each component is engineered for reliability, durability and seamless system integration.
Automated Guided Vehicles move ULDs flexibly across the terminal. Scalable, 24/7 available and safe – ideal for efficient cargo flows.
Elevating Transfer Vehicles (ETV) run on rails in storage aisles. They lift and move ULDs safely in high-bay racks, maximising vertical space and throughput.
Transfer Vehicles travel on rails in terminal aisles, linking workstations, storage and cold zones. They move ULDs fast, precise and safely across levels.
FlexLoader lifts and transfers ULDs flexibly between levels. A compact all-in-one device that boosts handling efficiency in tight spaces.
The Cargo Pallet Mover transports ULDs placed on ULD Support Pallets with precision. Battery-powereda and agile and precise – perfect for peak handling.
ULD Support Pallets serve as a base for transporting and storing ULDs inside terminals. In combination with the Cargo Pallet Mover, they enable flexible, safe and efficient handling.
ULD Hoists move 5–15 ft units vertically in seconds. Ideal for multi-level systems where speed, reliability and safety are essential.
Truck Docks connect lorries and terminals. With scissor lifts and roller decks, they make ULD loading and unloading ergonomic, fast and reliable.
Turntables rotate ULDs up to 360° for smooth direction changes. Optional with Right-Angle Deck, they also enable 90° transfers in compact, automated layouts.
Elevating Workstations bring ULDs to the perfect height. Ergonomic build-up and breakdown that protect staff and speed up flows.
Powered Roller Decks move ULDs automatically in racks and docks. A robust base for faster, safer and more efficient transfers.
Change ULD direction with full automation. Lödige Right-Angle Decks enable smooth 90° transfers using driven rollers and lateral wheels.
Castor Decks provide effortless multi-directional ULD moves. Flexible, modular and quick to adapt for handling or buffer zones.
Ball Decks let staff shift ULDs freely in any direction. Simple, modular and effective for manual handling in build & break areas.
Tilting Roller Decks ease dolly handovers by reducing friction. Faster transfers, less wear, and safer ULD handling at the airside gate.
Storage Decks are where ULDs are kept in racks. This product is strong, friction-driven and scalable. It is designed to buffer cargo smoothly until it is needed.
Cool Rooms keep ULDs between +2°C and +25°C. Reliable, integrated cold storage for pharma, perishables and sensitive cargo.
Consignment Handling Equipment
Efficient Solutions for Pallet and Piece Handling
Lödige’s consignment handling systems are designed for the fast, safe and ergonomic movement of pallets, boxes and irregular cargo within the terminal. Modular conveyor lines, lifting systems and storage solutions support smooth workflows, precise control and full visibility for all cargo types.
Stacker Cranes automate vertical and horizontal IHP storage in ASRS, ensuring high throughput, safety and reliable consignment management.
Chain conveyors connect IHP storage routes, offering high load capacity and modular design for efficient, automated consignment handling.
Modular roller conveyors transport inhouse pallets reliably within ASRS. Designed for speed, scalability and seamless software integration.
Right Angle Conveyors enable 90° direction changes for IHPs. Scalable modules ensure efficient routing in consignment ASRS systems.
Durable plastic pallets, X-ray compatible and barcode-ready. Ensure efficient, compliant handling of consignments in manual or automated ASRS.
