A Castor Deck is a versatile cargo handling system that facilitates the easy movement and positioning of heavy loads through a manual or semi-automated cargo system. This system consists of a deck equipped with heavy-duty castors or a ball deck, providing efficient mobility for unit load devices (ULDs), pallets or other heavy cargo items. It is essential for operations that require the flexible movement of goods across various environments in the logistics industry, including warehouses, loading docks, and air cargo terminals. The freight can be rotated in tight spaces so that logistics teams can push or pull the product in the direction required. The Castor Deck Powered Drive Unit (PDU) alternative offers extra capabilities by integrating a powered drive unit that ensures automated, smooth, and controlled movement of the deck. The deck is ideal for reducing manual handling and boosting operational efficiency. The Ball Deck solution uses ball transfer units rather than castors. The Ball Deck enables easier rotation when manoeuvring air cargo. why choose a castor deck? The Castor Deck offers a range of advantages that make it ideal choice for air cargo handling: Enhanced mobility: The deck’s castors provide effortless movement of heavy loads, reducing the need for manual handling. Operational efficiency: Streamlines cargo transfers, making workflows faster and more efficient. Reduced labour: With or without the powered drive, castor decking significantly reduces the amount of manual labour required for moving heavy cargo. Flexible design: Easily adaptable to various operational layouts, improving workflow and space utilisation
