Rollertrack Conveyor
The world's fastest and most efficient aircraft deicing system: The Elephant® BETA
Introduction
The Rollertrack Conveyor system enables airport ground handlers to load and unload bulk baggage and cargo faster and more efficiently, while also reducing the physical strain on the ground handling staff.
The Rollertrack Conveyor is an extension to a standard belt loader. It reaches inside the aircraft bulk hold, makes a 90° turn and quickly and reliably delivers bags to the ramp agent inside the cargo hold.
How does it work? Simple operation and full flexibility
Faster turnaround
Benefits
  • Improves transfer bag connection
  • Improves first and last bag times to baggage claim
  • Is very effective in late inbound aircraft situations
  • Is particularly effective on heavily loaded and higher capacity aircraft (i.e.: B737-800/900 or A321)
  • Improves turnaround times with fewer employees
The Rollertrack Conveyor system:
Current customers unload/load 25%-30% faster with the Rollertrack Conveyor compared to conventional belt loaders.
Global studies have shown that airlines and ground handlers achieve much faster turnarounds with the Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
Benefits
  • Operational stability and reliability.
  • Low operating and maintenance costs (proven track record).
  • Lower number of sick days per operator. Work-related injuries can be reduced by up to about 50% (according to customer data).
  • Cost-effective handling - Higher productivity.
  • Efficient and fast loading/unloading (approximately 30% faster)
Operational savings start from day one:
Over the years, leading airlines, airports and ground handling companies have discovered that the Rollertrack Conveyor is exceptionally reliable. The system offers superior performance and long product lifetime with low maintenance costs.
Our focus is low total cost of ownership, efficient and fast loading/unloading and outstanding reliability.
Rapid return on investment
Benefits
  • Strong, rugged and uncomplicated design means high availability, and low maintenance and spares costs
  • Simple intuitive operation with a much higher level of automation ensures easy, fast and solid operator training and rapid yet simple entry into service
  • Less stress and risk of errors reduces the number of accidents
  • Enhanced working conditions result in higher productivity with less sick leave
Operational savings start from day one:
As an integrated component in an existing belt loader, the Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor offers an exceptionally fast return on your investment.
Save aircraft fuel
Benefits
The Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor provides the same benefits as onboard systems, but is ground-based and therefore eliminates the cost of additional fuel burn and aircraft maintenance.
Moreover, complex built-in, onboard systems have to be maintained by more expensive aircraft maintenance personnel and in the event of a serious system issue, aircraft may be delayed or even grounded.
Depending on their complexity, onboard aircraft loading can add well over 1,000 kg to the MTOW of a single narrow body aircraft. Studies have shown that removing such systems can save more than EUR 75,000 per year per aircraft in fuel costs alone.
Most airlines around the globe realize that reducing overall aircraft weight to an operational minimum is key to making cost reductions, improving profitability and securing a greener future.
Reduce emissions - and save aircraft fuel
Less damage
Benefits
The equipment adjusts automatically to the changing height of the aircraft door sill. The Rollertrack Conveyor maintains a constant clearance height to protect the aircraft and help prevent door damage.
The Rollertrack Conveyor secures bags inside the hold and significantly reduces wear-and-tear on the floor and baggage damage.
Less damage to aircraft and baggage
Improved working conditions
Benefits
The Rollertrack Conveyor is recognized by health and safety organizations around the world.
Reports from KLM indicate that Power Stow has helped to reduce body injuries by as much as 57.8%. (The BIM was conducted over a period of three years.)
The baggage handler inside the hold does not need to lift baggage from the floor. Under these conditions, ramp agents are exposed to much less physical strain than in comparable systems, and loading and unloading operations are less labor-intensive.
A single operator can easily extend or retract the equipment as necessary and bring the end as close as possible to the baggage in the hold. The Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor eliminates repetitive lifting, and turning and tossing of bags from the door position.
Lower rates of staff turnover, less absence and enhanced working conditions are certain to boost bottom-line results. Power Stow improves the working environment as the equipment requires less physical exertion and causes less harmful, long-term physical impacts on the human body.
Ramp agents cannot help but feel the ergonomic benefits of the Rollertrack Conveyor.

Compatible belt loaders
Extendable belt loader system
The Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor is compatible with several types of belt loader:
The system is particularly effective on bulk-loaded and higher capacity aircraft, such as:
MULAG
Orbiter diesel, electrical and gas
Aircraft compatibility
The Rollertrack Conveyor is a versatile belt loader extension that is built into a mobile belt conveyor in order to facilitate the loading and offloading of passenger baggage and cargo in the aircraft cargo hold. The Rollertrack Conveyor is a stable and reliable operational solution.
