Doubledeck air container trailer to move between Haneda, Narita airports
A DOUBLEDECK trailer which can carry up to 13 standard (AKE) air cargo containers with a 60 per cent reduction in carbon emissions has been designed to transport them between Haneda and Narita airports, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Designed and built by Van Eck, the Dutch road transport specialist, the trailer was commissioned by Japan's Trans Web transport company on behalf of Hirano Logistics.
"Trans Web asked us two years ago if we could develop a vehicle to transport as many air cargo pallets as possible, and which could be quickly loaded and unloaded," said a Van Eck company statement.
"The design had to be solid and sustainable and comply with the Japanese legislation. The main aim was a 60 per cent reduction in CO2 emission.
With a load capacity of 13 air cargo containers, Van Eck developed a double deck trailer with twin-axle independent suspension for Trans Web.
The trailer has an automatic hydraulic lifting platform with a lifting capacity of 3,000 kilogramme, allowing containers to be loaded and unloaded from the dollies or loading bays via radio remote control.
The trailer is supplied complete with a Scania tractor. A further trailer has been ordered by Trans Web, and two more have been delivered by Van Eck to a client in the motorsport industry.
