Unloading cargo Boeing-747F
Working week - is not only "Friday", there are more Mondays.
All with the beginning of a new week of work, and on this occasion a selection of small production.
As you know, colleagues, aviation carries not only passengers but also cargo. And if the passengers had visited so many of us, the loads, and what happens to them - a topic largely closed to most outsiders. On this occasion, the example of unloading the cargo Boeing-747F tell you a little about the work of the cargo terminal.
So handsome landed zarulivaet:
The prefix "F" in the title means the type of aircraft - "Freighters" truck. I will not bore you with statistics and figures: curious - to help Google. I can only say that near the machine of more than seventy meters long, with a wingspan - over sixty, looks very impressive.
All Stop the car ...
Throw open the hatch in the picture has dimensions of the order of more than three meters wide and two and a half in height. The self-propelled miracle airfield equipment, gently landed on the hatch on the left is called "Loader". One operator controls the machine. The principle of Loder, will become clearer below.
Cargo being loaded onto an aircraft, is formed on the (in) special loading containers: containers or pallets. In this case - the goods on pallets. In fact - it's aluminum trays of about three to two and a half meters in height of the load placed on a sixty meter (Freighters and allows greater height, but in this case the condition of 1, 6 m was couched).
The floor inside Freighters as proper, and the floor of the luggage compartment in the majority of aircraft types, is a system of rollers, which are moved and secured by special locks loading capacity.
Inside Freighters. Visible ladder to the cockpit.
Pallet load travels from the belly of the sun in the first half of the platform Loder. The weight of such pallets - and four and a half tons.
Platform Loder is a system of cam mechanisms to expand and move the pallet on its surface.
View from the aircraft.
The platform with the load is lowered flush with the second part Loder and the cargo is moved on it.
The second part of the platform from the pallet descends closer to the platform ...
To Loader tractor is fitted with bogies.
Lowder deploys a pallet loaded with 90 degrees ...
The surface of the trolley - the usual, non-motorized rollers. As it pulls cargo manual with Loder and fix locks on the trolley.
Arthur Hailey back in the sixties of the last century, wrote that the stevedores are the same at all airports in the world ... I am ready to confirm - it really is.
For the most part - is a funny cheerful burly, good in fact people. However, if you are in this life ever happen to send the goods, then listen to the good advice of seasoned guys bomzhik: take care of the quality of its packaging, so as not to introduce these people into temptation! Freight handling, they are also curious and spontaneous as children. Discovered a hole in the pack - certainly there is someone who thrusts a hand check. You can pull out something interesting, or not. Just out of curiosity!
Luggage is, incidentally, also concerns.
Oh, Dubinushka, Uhnem ...
All the trucks are loaded and driven to the cargo warehouse ...
It turns out sort of a train.
Due to the mechanization of the whole process is very fast. For example - the flight brought about a hundred tons of cargo, and was discharged in less than half an hour. For comparison - the same amount of time it takes to unload about Boeing-737 by hand, if he had brought on board two and a half-ton of cargo.
During the load falls on a cargo warehouse, and after certain customs ordeal (in Ukrainian language "custom", incidentally, is called - "mitnitsya" reads like a "mytnytsya") loaded on trucks and sent to the recipient. But that, as they say, is another story.
Thank you for your attention,
Sincerely
PS Another handsome finally keep ...
