MULAG Fahrzeugwerk - Orbiter Conveyor Belt Vehicles

Our Orbiter conveyor belt vehicles are easy to adapt to the individual demands of our customers – an ideal solution for every working situation.

Perfect for the handling of all types of aircraft, with a choice of drive concepts like fully developed electric, LPG or diesel drives. This results in high reliability and low maintenance costs – over 40 years of experience in designing and manufacturing  ground support equipment takes effect.

Ground Support with worldwide standards

Our Orbiter conveyor belt cars with hydrostatic drive can be controlled precisely during the maneuvering around the aircraft. Optional extras such as protection guards, loading  ramp, closed drivers cab, heating and preheating systems and many more guarantee an individual configuration to the customers needs. The conveyor belt cars can be delivered with closed noise protected cab, cab without door or with an open driver’s platform.

Other features available:

Multitransfer

The Multitransfer, the conveyor belt extension by MULAG, is an additional transfer conveyor belt, optionally available with a telescope, which is attached to the rear end of the Orbiter conveyor belt vehicles. For optimum connection to the baggage cart, it can be swivelled in a wide working range and extended.

The Multitransfer has been primarily developed to significantly reduce the physical exertion of the staff at unloading and loading the baggage carts; it furthermore accelerates the baggage handling process.

Collision protection ACA

Via the ultrasonic sensor at the front end of the conveyor belt, the anti-collision assistant ACA helps the driver to position the vehicle properly when approaching the aircraft:

The system automatically reduces the travelling speed during the approach to the aircraft in two steps and stops the traction drive immediately before the point of collision. This effectively helps to avoid damage to the aircraft body as a result of positioning the conveyor belt at the aircraft.

Under certain circumstances, it is possible to retrofit existing conveyor bodies with an ACA.
