Lödige Industries, the global leader in air cargo terminals, has installed a fully automated air cargo terminal at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu, the capital of China’s Sichuan province. The core of the new facility includes two elevating transfer vehicles (ETVs) with a five-level, three-directional automated unit load device (ULD) storage and handling system for 227 20ft storage positions.
“Since it started operations last year, the airport has become one of the largest in the world, handling up to 60 million passengers and 1.3 million tonnes of cargo and mail annually. In the second expansion phase, three additional runways will be added, and the capacity will increase to 120 million passengers and 2.8 million tonnes of cargo and mail per year,” according to a release from Lodige.
In addition to the international cargo terminal, Lödige also supplied Sichuan Airport Group with state-of-the-art equipment for the airport’s domestic cargo terminal as well as for a special warehouse for hazardous goods and an express distribution centre. It also includes an international export goods supervision warehouse. In total, the contract provides ULD and pallet handling equipment for more than 83,000 square metres of cargo facilities, the statement added.
