Globemaster reaches further faster with delivery of cargo loaders
07 November 2007
Ground support for the Air Force’s C-17A Globemaster fleet has been enhanced with the delivery of four Truck/Aircraft Loading Unloading (TALU) units to Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) bases across Australia. The units were constructed by Adelaide-based company Static Engineering, and will be delivered to RAAF bases Townsville Pearce, Amberley and Darwin.
Each TALU has a platform that can carry a payload of 22.5 tonnes, and greatly increase the ease of loading and unloading the Globemaster by elevating the platform to the height of the aircraft’s cargo floor.
