Benefits of Lödige's Air Cargo Storage Systems
Flexible Storage Solutions for Airport Terminals
Specialised systems for ULDs, consignments, MRO inventories and catering trolleys – scalable and seamlessly integrated into terminal operations.
Lödige ULD storage solutions range from manual setups with support pallets to fully automated ETV high-bay systems. They provide safe, space-efficient handling and can include dedicated options for dangerous goods or out-of-gauge freight.
Consignment storage covers everything from floor storage areas to heavy-duty racking and automated ASRS with inhouse pallets. It ensures secure and efficient handling of consignments, with layouts designed for space optimisation and reliable access.
MRO storage systems organise and protect spare parts, consumables and tools for cargo handling and ground support equipment. They improve availability, streamline maintenance processes and can be scaled from simple shelving to automated retrieval.
The Lödige SpaceTower offers space-saving, cooled or ambient storage for catering trolleys. Designed as a vertical system with automated retrieval, it optimises handling, shortens processes and fits flexibly into airport catering operations.
