ABSTRACT A portable and adjustable aircraft cargo handling system designed to facilitate substantially simultaneous serial delivery of cargo from a cargo ramp and side doors form side doors form a conventional troop carrying aircraft of the Hercules C130 type which is provided with an inwardly and upwardly-opening rear cargo door and an outwardly and downwardly opening rear cargo ramp. The cargo device includes a base, which can be secured to the conventional aircraft cargo ramp; a load carrying platform, having friction reducing rollers or the like, super- imposed on the base and pivotally connected thereto along one of its marginal edges; and a lifting device which is located between the base and the platform to raise and lower one end of the platform relative to the base between a first, lowered position in which cargo is loaded thereon and loaded into the aircraft and a second, raised position in which cargo is carried in flight and is discharged from the aircraft when the rear cargo door is raised. In the raised position, the platform provides a 5° rearward slope to facilitate easy release of the cargo load, without the necessity of lowering the cargo ramp.
