what is a powered rollerbed?

The Powered Rollerbed is an advanced material handling solution for streamlining the loading and unloading of unit load devices (ULDs), pallets and air cargo containers. Equipped with motorised rollers, the powered rollerbed eliminates the need for manual handling, which makes operations faster, safer and more efficient.

The Powered Roller Four Way Bed, an alternative to the standard Powered Rollerbed, allows multi-directional movement of ULDs, air cargo containers and pallets. Designed with precision-engineered rollers and automation features, it allows forward, backward and lateral movement for unparalleled flexibility in cargo operations.

Other variations include the Powered Rollerbed (Height Adjustable) which can be height adjusted by +/- 50 mm. The Raiseable Powered Rollerbed variation is hydraulically raiseable and designed to create working space around the perimeter of equipment such as a Build Station.
