Rollerized tine extenders - ULD air freight handling equipment

meijer-handlin... The HCU 6/E or 463L Master Pallet is a standardized pallet used for transporting military air cargo.
RTE forks consist of a hollow cross-section with a single layer of rollers on each side. They can be fitted to regular forklift truck tines like a sleeve and secured using locking pins. Used in this way, rollers are unable to descend so the load remains seated on the rollers at all times. RTE forks have been fitted with a stop to prevent the load sliding off the rollers whenever the forklift truck brakes. The load can be pushed or rolled off the forks manually if the mast is tilted forwards and the stops have been folded out of the way.
In most cases, the cargo pallets will have to be lifted because the cargo pallet has to be pushed into the hold of the aircraft. An option exists to modify ROLLERFORKS® so that rollers do NOT descend allowing the load to remain on the rollers even once the forks have been lifted clear of the ground. This model (RFCU ) has another advantage because the load can be lifted directly off the floor because of the parabolic taper. Special-purpose solutions are then no longer needed for placing airfreight pallets on blocks as is the case with Rollerized Tine Extenders.
