Patent

CA 2236352

A method and apparatus for handling cargo are disclosed which include a plurality of cargo carriers capable of being operated manually by human operators or remotely by a central controller. The carriers are operated in their manual mode to traverse paths near aircraft or other movable objects whose stopping positions cannot be accurately known until arrival. Once the carriers have been loaded and manually guided away from the movable object, they are driven onto a track from which point an automated controller takes over to guide the carriers to their destinations.

La présente invention a pour objet une méthode et un système de manutention de fret faisant appel à une pluralité de transporteurs pouvant être manoeuvrés à la main ou commandés à distance par un système de télécommande. En mode de fonctionnement manuel, les transporteurs peuvent être manoeuvrés pour emprunter des trajets à proximité d'avions et autres véhicules dont la position stationnaire finale ne peut être déterminée à l'avance avec précision avant leur arrivée. Une fois leur chargement terminé, les transporteurs sont guidés et conduits manuellement vers une piste de manutention où ils sont pris en charge par un système de commande automatisée jusqu'à leur lieu de destination.
