1 ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS FOR CARGO HANDLING

2 Cargo terminal planning with computer based modelling and animation Conveying lanes for lateral and longitudinal movement

3 THE COMPLETE SOLUTION FROM ONE SOURCE The planning of a complex material handling system is more than just the combination of several items. In order to ensure that pallets and containers are conveyed at the right time to the right place, complete systems must be designed. As early as in the initial planning phase, efficiency of the cargo handling system is the controlling factor. CTI will solve even the most difficult material handling requirements and will plan your cargo handling systems. Here CTI sets the standards. Some of the world s largest automated terminals have been supplied by CTI. KLM Cargo Terminal 2, Amsterdam Lufthansa Cargo Centre, Frankfurt Federal Express Metroplex, Newark/NewJersey Japan Airlines Cargo Terminal, JFK New York Luxair Cargo Centre, Luxembourg DEVELOPMENT Geared to cope with your particular handling requirements, a team of experienced engineers plans and develops your cargo handling system. No matter whether it is a single workstation, truck dock, a complete turn-key system on a green field site or an extension and optimisation of your present system from stand alone, manually operated items to fully automated handling systems, CTI delivers the whole range.

5 MODULAR SYSTEMS FOR AIRLINES, SHIPPERS AND FORWARDERS New ways of putting a cargo handling system together have been developed by CTI Systems. A module consists of the mechanical items and the electrical control system that makes the rollers, motors and sensors work together in combination. Not only the mechanical arrangement is included in a module, also the electrical control system that makes the rollers, motors and sensors work together in combination is integrated. One of the key modules is the storage and retrieval module including an elevating transfer vehicle. Other modules for example are workstations with transfer decks and weighing scales, transfer vehicles with shuttle decks, truck docks with side shift and movable truck docks with all kinds of options like pallet pushers and pallet pulling spills just to name a few. With this method of supplying a full range of readily available small functional groups, cargo terminals of all sizes can be served perfectly. For small terminals, CTI provides slave pallets for 5ft and 10ft unit load devices (ULDs). These pallets are moved within the warehouse with pallet movers car.go 7700, which can also lift the pallets to interface with standard 20 inch equipment.

7 MODULAR SYSTEMS FOR AIRLINES, SHIPPERS AND FORWARDERS Cost efficient, flexible with less commissioning time. Within the air freight terminal or the warehouse, pallets have to be built up or broken down. The ULDs have to be weighed for dispatch; CTI can supply the complete technology for scales integrated into workstations or I/O lanes. Storing pallets and containers is necessary when receipt of air cargo and delivery are at differing times. On airside, the conveying module is designed to accept or deliver including short term storage to the mobile equipment like dollies or transporters. The advantage for the customer is the short delivery and commissioning time and right from start-up a reliable air cargo handling system due to the application of proven software. MULTIROLLER DECK A new developed system element for lateral and longitudinal conveying as well as for turning of ULDs. These elements are available for 10ft and 20ft ULDs. The advantage of this element is one level for conveying. Low profile conveying is possible at economical cost. Cost efficient, flexible with less commissioning time 67

9 ROLLER CONVEYOR SYSTEM Built of a modular design, CTI Cargo Handling Systems are tailored to meet your individual needs and requirements, and can be expanded to benefit all your future demands. The basic element of this modular system is the roller deck. This deck is available in different versions: As an active element within a conveyor section with its own drive. As a passive element within a storage or conveyor section. The deck can be chain-driven from a neighbouring deck or powered via a friction drive unit activated from a transfer vehicle (TV) or elevating transfer vehicle (ETV). All sizes of aircraft pallets and containers can be handled from 10ft to 20ft including wing contour. Other components are Right Angle Decks Turntables Workstations Vertical Conveyors Truck Docks Transfer Vehicles (TVs) Shuttles Elevating Transfer Vehicles (ETVs) Automated Storage and Retrieval Machines (ASRMs) Nose Docks/Side Loading Docks A flexible concept with nearly unlimited possibilities 8 9

11 CARRIER SYSTEM The Carrier System for automatic or manual operation uses slave pallets or carriers to overcome the problems of the different sizes of unit load devices in operation. A unit load device (ULD) from the aircraft arriving into the system is automatically connected with a slave pallet (measuring 3.3 x 2.6 m), capable of accomodating a 10ft unit load weighing up to 6.8 tons. For a 20ft unit load, two carriers can be coupled together for conveyance through the system. The unit load and carrier remain together within the system. Important elements of the Carrier System: Conveyor Decks Right Angle Decks ULD Carrier Mating and Separating Decks Workstations Vertical Conveyors Transfer Vehicles (TVs) Elevating Transfer Vehicles (ETVs) Automated Storage and Retrieval Machines (ASRMs) High speed gentle cargo handling 10 11

12 1. Workstation with pass-over RA-deck 2. Pass-over decks can be walked on safely 3. Motor driven wheel deck with integrated cargo scale 4. Lowerable workstation with pass-over RA-deck

13 CTI PASS-OVER SYSTEM The CTI Pass-Over System is designed for use especially in smaller air cargo terminals. No more wasted space taken up by conveyors is the idea behind this system, which is installed flush with the warehouse floor. The conveyor wheels protrude a mere 12 mm above floor level allowing mobile transport equipment with a wheel load of up to 5 tons to pass over the deck. Air cargo pallets and containers are conveyed safely and gently. The deck may be safely walked upon and the wheel will stop if stepped on while the system is in operation. The CTI Pass-Over is of modular design, comprising: Motor-Wheel-Decks, NEL Motor-Wheel-Decks, WEL Right Angle Decks Workstations Truck Docks The conveying warehouse floor 12 13

14 1. Turnable 2. Manual roll box handling at double vertical conveyor 3. Roll box high bay storage 4. Roll box conveying line

15 ROLL BOX SYSTEM The Roll Box System is designed to handle and store, automatically, small- to mediumsized shipments (bulk cargo) with a total weight of up to 1000 kg in a cage-type roll box. Used around the build-up and break-down areas, the roll box can be moved on its own wheels, while within the system it is conveyed on specially designed roller conveyors. The roll box may also be transported by a forklift truck, and can be stacked. Just like the other CTI products, the Roll Box System is designed in modular blocks. The most important elements are: Conveyor Decks NEL, WEL Right Angle Decks Turnables Vertical Conveyors In-Feed/Out-Feed Stations Automated Storage and Retrieval Machines (ASRMs) Economical bulk cargo handling 14 15

19 CTI RANGE OF PRODUCTS AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY CTI is supplying conveyor systems for the car industry since more than 50 years. Chain conveyors, roller conveyors, belt conveyors, skillet systems and slat conveyors all these can be supplied for economical and reliable production lines. Hoists, elements for longitudinal and lateral conveying, turntables, swivel decks and asrs even the most complicated tasks are accomplished with the CTI scope of products! AIRCRAFT DOCKING SYSTEMS From ground supported or roof suspended, any individual dock design solution can be delivered to meet customer s specific needs. Hereby the CTI engineering team, with more than 50 years global docking experience considers any individual work procedures and building restrictions. TELEPLATFORMS Teleplatforms, are an original CTI development for quick access of raised aircraft working areas. Suspended from a specific crane trolley, a telescoping mast equipped with a working platform can be lowered to the hangar floor to allow working personnel entry for lift them to any elevated aircraft service area. MAXMOVE The unique omni-directional mobility of the MaxMove carrier grants universal application possibilities on most difficult-to-reach locations. While the application with scissor platform is graded into four sizes in standard versions a numerous range of further aircraft service applications are being offered. ENGINE TEST CELL INSTALLATIONS In numerous installations CTI has successfully installed their patented monorail track and carrier systems for the handling of aircraft engines. It proved as the ideal equipment for this application, due to overhead transport of the aircraft engines from/to the work stations from/to the preparation hall and further into/out of test cell. SCALES Handling of air cargo does only work in conjunction with the determination of weights of the individual shipments. For this reason CTI is providing taylormade weighing scale technology: Roller conveyors with load cells technology Platform scales for weighing of ULDs on dollies or on other ground handling equipment Platform scales can be installed in pits in the floor or can be equipped with sloped ramps for the installation right on the floor Maximum weighing ranges of the scales are 6000 Ibs or 3000 kg up to Ibs or kg Accessories are printers, large scale displays and interfaces with the IT technology 18 19
