Embodiment Construction

[0048] Figures 1 to 3 of the accompanying drawings show a loading device 2 which, in this embodiment, is designed for loading and unloading goods into and from conventional unit loading devices 3 . The loading device may alternatively be designed for loading and unloading goods from road vehicles, rail wagons, aircraft or any other cargo containers.

[0049] The loading device 2 comprises a cantilever conveyor 3 which in this embodiment comprises a telescopic arm 4 having a rear boom section 6 and a front boom section 8 which is movable relative to the rear boom section 6. Telescopically extended in order to adjust the overall length of the boom conveyor 4 . Typically, the boom conveyor 3 has a maximum length of about 5.5 meters when fully extended and a minimum length of about 3 meters when fully retracted. However, these dimensions are not limiting; in some applications, cantilever conveyors can have a length of 15 meters or more when fully extended. The invention is also...

Abstract

The cantilever conveyor apparatus (3) comprises: a cantilever (4) carrying the conveyor (9), a support structure (14) for the cantilever, a rear pivot joint (16) connecting the rear end of the cantilever to the support structure, a control Pivot drive (18) for pivotal movement of the boom about the rear pivot joint. The boom conveyor apparatus (3) comprises an operator platform (22) and an attachment mechanism (40) at the front end of the boom (4) enabling the operator platform to be attached to or detached from the boom. The attachment mechanism includes a leveling mechanism (54) configured to apply a leveling adjustment to the operator platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a boom conveyor for loading and unloading pallets and containers. In particular, but not exclusively, it concerns telescopic boom conveyors for use with unit loading devices (ULDs), also known as "air tanks" for transporting goods by air. These conveyors can be as high as 3 meters and can accommodate a variety of goods. Background technique [0002] On arrival at the distribution center, the goods are unloaded from the unit loader by boom and sorted for delivery to the customer / retailer. The unit loader is then reloaded with additional cargo via the cantilever for transport. [0003] Freight is typically loaded and unloaded using a pivoting telescopic boom conveyor that can telescopically extend and raise / lower as required. The goods from the unit loader are transferred by hand onto the cantilever conveyor, which then transports the goods to the distribution center by means of a running belt or a set of rotating rollers. ...
