The JBT Cargo Chute is a solution to assist in the unloading of packages from the passenger cabins of aircraft. It works by utilizing existing or new passenger steps with the chute mounting to the stair flights, while still maintaining access for operators up and down the stairs. Operators are able to safely slide packages in a controlled manner eliminating the requirement to either walk down the steps whilst carrying goods or having additional operators on the steps passing the goods to each other.
This simple solution from JBT improves the safety and efficiency of unloading packages from passenger cabins by reducing the strain on your operators, reducing the manpower required, and speeding up the process. When used in conjunction with the company's roller-bed, further efficiencies can be gained by transporting goods from inside the plane itself. It can be retrofitted to almost all makes of aircraft passenger stair and requires no permanent modifications or damage to the step, meaning that when no longer required they can be put back to dedicated passenger use.
