Ground Handling Trailer

Ground Handling Trailers are specialized trailers used in the aviation industry for the handling and transportation of various equipment and materials on the airfield. These trailers are specifically designed to support ground operations and provide efficient and safe movement of cargo, baggage, and other supplies.

Ground Handling Trailers are part of the supply class Airfield Specialized Trucks and Trailers, which includes a range of vehicles and equipment designed for specific tasks on the airfield. These trailers are typically used in conjunction with aircraft ground handling equipment to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo, as well as the transportation of equipment and supplies between different areas of the airfield.

Some common features of Ground Handling Trailers include:

1. Load Capacity: Ground Handling Trailers are designed to carry heavy loads, such as cargo containers, baggage carts, or other equipment. They are built with sturdy frames and axles to ensure the safe transportation of these loads.

2. Maneuverability: These trailers are equipped with wheels and a hitch system that allows them to be easily towed by specialized ground handling vehicles, such as aircraft tugs or tow tractors. They are designed to have a tight turning radius and good maneuverability to navigate through narrow spaces on the airfield.

3. Safety Features: Ground Handling Trailers are equipped with safety features such as brakes, lights, and reflective markings to ensure visibility and compliance with airfield regulations. Some trailers may also have locking mechanisms or tie-down points to secure the cargo during transportation.

4. Versatility: Ground Handling Trailers are designed to be versatile and adaptable to different types of cargo and equipment. They may have adjustable or removable components, such as ramps or partitions, to accommodate various sizes and shapes of cargo.

Overall, Ground Handling Trailers play a crucial role in the efficient and safe handling of cargo and equipment on the airfield. They are an essential part of the Aerospace Craft Launching, Landing, Ground Handling, and Servicing Equipment supply group, providing support for ground operations in the aviation industry.
