Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies the functional and
performance requirements for a self-propelled container/pallet
loader capable of raising air cargo unit load devices (ULDs) to the
upper deck of very large capacity freighter (VLCF) aircraft and
also to the main deck of any main-line freighter aircraft.
This International Standard does not intend to provide all the
design requirements applicable for aircraft upperdeck loaders.
Other requirements can be found in separate standards which are
also applicable:
— ISO 4116 specifies the additional requirements applicable for
conveying surfaces of aircraft ground support equipment intended
for handling and loading of baggage and cargo ULDs;
— ISO 6966-1 and ISO 6966-2 specify, respectively, the general
and safety-related requirements applicable to all aircraft ground
support equipment.
The requirements of this International Standard were determined
based on generally recognized assumptions as to:
a) the normally intended use of aircraft ground support
equipment, when used on the ramp of international civil airports in
order to handle, service or maintain civil transport aircraft;
b) the environmental (surface, slope, weather, lighting,
operating rules, traffic infrastructure, staff qualification, etc.)
conditions prevailing on the ramp area of the majority of
international civil airports.
It is assumed that the manufacturers of aircraft upper-deck
loaders define in the relevant documentation the specifically
intended conditions of use and environment for each model, and that
the purchasers systematically review their own specific conditions
of use and environment in order to determine whether those stated
are adequate, or negotiate with the manufacturer appropriate
modifications to ensure they are.
This International Standard does not specify requirements
applicable to:
— any adapters or ancillary/supplemental equipment additions to
in-service main-deck loaders in order to allow their occasional
upper-deck use;
— any main-deck loaders fitted with optional access to
upper-deck height of the front platform only (ISO 6967:2006,
4.8).
