what is a build station?

The Build Station is a versatile, heavy-duty system for efficient assembly and handling of pallets, unit load devices (ULDs) and other large cargo items. These stations provide a stable, ergonomic platform for operators to build, maintain or load items in a controlled, secure manner.

With customisable lengths of 10 and 20 ft, Build Stations are engineered to meet the specific air cargo handling needs. Built with robust materials, the stations make your workflow more efficient and ensure operator safety and comfort during heavy-duty tasks.

Build Stations, installed in pits, raise and lower cargo pallets above and below floor level. When built, aircraft pallets can be over two metres tall. The ability to lower pallets below floor level enables staff to build and break pallets easily. Everything is housed inside the pit, including the control panel and hydraulic power pack.
