Additional SkyBelt options include
multiple handrail options; EU package/CE
certification; a wheel straight
indicator; cargo door steps on the
front of driver's cab; rear conveyer
hoop guard; wheel chocks; beacons;
a work light; nylon side bump rails;
and a fire extinguisher.
The European version of the product
includes updates such as a fixed
handrail on the boom, a higher protective
guard on the inside of the
driver cab and an inclinometer,
among other features.
Many of the SkyBelt's features
offer safety benefits as well.
The CAS, for example, utilizes
advanced sensor technology to passively
operate in the background
without requiring director operator
involvement, Griffith explains.
" The system allows the operator to
maintain focus on the basic driving
functions, " he adds. " As well as providing
peace of mind that the belt loader
will prevent itself from damaging
an aircraft due to operator error, the
system also lessens the risk of accidents
caused by driver distractions. "
Because the aircraft may change
height during ramp operations due to
the weight of cargo being loaded and
passengers entering the cabin, the
auto-level system provides automated
boom movement tracking to the
cargo floor level.
" With 'bag in bin' operation, this is
critical, " Griffith says. " And, as well
as preventing aircraft contact, it has
the added benefit of helping avoid
operator entrapment between the
boom and cargo floor. "
Other SkyBelt features include a
modular chassis design and an AC
traction motor with integrated electric
park brake coupled to rear axle
differential.
Key Collaboration
According to Griffith, Mallaghan
officials are continuously involved
in research and design projects,
which helped in the development of
the SkyBelt.
" The one thing that was beneficial
on this project, more so than others,
was how closely we worked with our
customer, " Griffith says.
" Mallaghan came to the table with
solutions to long-standing problems
and delivered on every single aspect
of the design, " says Alex Blench, general
manager of GSE Central Services
Mallaghan's conveyor lifting system allows
for vertical boom movement without any
lateral/traversing movement.
