Swissport chooses Lödige in Frankfurt
Lödige Industries is to deliver a modern, fast and efficient cargo handling facility for Swissport’s new cargo terminal in Frankfurt Cargo City Süd. Construction of the 2,900 sqm facility is well under way and production of the cargo handling system has begun at the company’s manufacturing sites in Germany and Romania.
The facility is due for hand-over next autumn and will feature a space-saving and fast storage and retrieval for 115 main deck ULDs on two levels with a third level as an upgrade option. The system is operated by two 15 ft elevating transfer vehicles, which Lödige has installed in close to 50 terminals worldwide.
Willy Ruf, SVP Swissport Germany, Austria & Switzerland: "Our selection is testament to our commitment to optimum service delivery and our ambitious efficiency and reliability goals." (ah)
