ULD Elevating Transfer Vehicle (ETV)
Manufacturer: Lödige Industries
The rail-guided Elevating Transfer Vehicle moves air cargo unit load devices (ULDs), including pallets and containers, between multiple storage levels. It combines horizontal travel with vertical lifting to store and retrieve ULDs. The system makes efficient use of terminal height and supports cargo flow between storage positions and handling workstations.
