Hepler notes some customers - like those living in coastal areas and near salt-spray elements - may opt for a galvanized finish to prolong the life of the equipment. Par-Kan's line of cargo dollies can handle virtually any size pallet or container. Depending on the capacity of the aircraft and the containers being used, the PD-8010 provides versatility. At 128 inches long, 102 inches wide and 21.5 inches high, a PD-8010 dolly can handle anywhere from two LD-1 containers, one LD-39 and many other sizes of ULDs and pallets in between. Cargo dollies require minimal maintenance. If GSE maintenance personnel keep the grease zerks lubricated at all key points, a dolly will remain in good working condition. Hepler notes that Par-Kan designs its equipment with ground handling service providers in mind and uses feedback from its customers to continuously improve equipment to make their difficult job easier, whenever possible. "Our customers really like the ease of use with our caster deck design," she says. When spec'ing a cargo dolly for an operation, Hepler notes it is important to understand what type of containers are being loaded and unloaded to ensure all concerns are addressed. "We will need to know what size of containers they need the dolly to accommodate and we can assist our customer with selecting the correct dolly for their operational needs," Hepler says. "Selecting the appropriately sized dolly from the start will set the ground handler up for success going forward."
