ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus is disclosed and is cap- able of transferring both small containers that are up to 20 feet long and large containers about 40 feet long be- tween the cargo area of an aircraft and airport cargo hand- ling facilities. The apparatus includes a mobile, self- propelled main loader and a mobile self-propelled auxi- liary loader both of which must be used together as a unit to handle the large containers, but each loader may operate alone to handle the small containers. Independent hydraulic and electrical circuits are provided on each loader, per- mitting the loaders to operate alone when handling small containers. Both loaders are operated together to handle larger container at which time the hydraulic and electri- cal circuits are connected together allowing a single operator to control both loaders. Each loader includes a vertically movable platform with container propelling rollers and belts thereon, and the platforms are locked together when handling large containers.
