The cool dolly was developed to enable safe ramp transport and warehouse storage of perishable shipments in hot climates, when the shipment is received in regular air cargo containers or pallets (not in coolcontainers).
The cool dolly can acccomodate either 2x AKE, 1x ALF, 1x AMF, 1x PAG or 1x PMC pallet and regulate the temperature inside the dolly within a specific temperature range.
It consists of a steel trailer and an aluminium insulated container built on top, the latter equipped with a compressor driven cooling system. The dolly is capable of loading, unloading and transporting various kinds of aircraft pallets and containers.
The cooling system is installed on the front side of the dolly. Power required for cooling or heating can be arranged via a diesel engine when working rampsite or via 380V power supply when operating inside the warehouse.
The severely insulated unit on top is provided with ball races, seattrack and guiding extrusions installed on the floor.
Two electric drive rolls are installed on the floor to support the loading and unloading of cargo. The gas-spring supported door for access to and from the cooling compartment is installed on the side.
remarks
Despite its name, the cool dolly can actually heat too! This is to allow operations in colder environments.
