Abstract: A method for disposing of a slug produced in a hole punching operation on a hollow profile is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a hollow profile; cutting at least one predeterminable hole or slug contour path into the hollow profile by means of a cutting device; leaving a residual web of the hole or slug contour path; moving a receiving device into the hollow profile; moving a punch from a first position into a residual-web-removing second position in such a way that the slug thereby produced is received by the receiving device; and moving the receiving device out of the hollow profile.

Abstract: The invention concerns lifting and transport vehicles for transporting loads in the airport sector, with a lifting apparatus mounted on a carrier vehicle and a lifting platform attached to the lifting apparatus for carrying loads, particularly people, freight, containers, deicing appliances and/or catering material, whereby the lifting platform can be lowered and/or raised in at least one lifting range of the lifting apparatus in the direction of travel to the left and/or right beside the carrier vehicle. Furthermore the invention concerns variously designed lifting platforms for such lifting and transport vehicles, particularly with appliances for the transport of goods or aircraft de-icing.
