Abstract: The apparatus, for an aircraft comprising a platform provided with balls for receiving loads in the region of a lateral door, comprises a foldable rolling track (1), a device (6) for shifting the rolling track transversely of the luggage compartment, in synchronism with the opening of the door (5), from a first folded storage position (32) in the luggage compartment in the region of the door to a second folded position (32') entirely outside the aircraft in which it is articulated by one end to the threshold of the door (5), and vice versa, guide devices (18) which are carried by the platform (12) and in which the rolling track is guidedly mounted, devices (9, 10, 34) for lowering and raising the rolling track (1) in the second position (32'), and a pulling device (39, 40) connected to the platform (12).

Abstract: The autonomous onboard device for loading a cargo-aircraft having a lateral door comprises hoisting means (10) movable between the exterior and the interior of the fuselage (F) of the aircraft along carrier and guide means (3,4,5), which comprise transverse rails (3) inside the fuselage at the level of the upper part of the lateral opening (1) and two arms (4) provided with rails (5) movable between an extended position, in which they are in the extension of the rails (3) outside the fuselage, and a retracted position in which they are withdrawn into the fuselage. This device is light weight and of small size.
