  • Patent number: 10173705
    Abstract: A cargo dolly having a suspension assembly incorporated therein, wherein the suspension assembly is adapted to maintain the dolly at a prescribed height relative to an underlying surface. Thus, as cargo is loaded onto the dolly, and subsequently unloaded from the dolly, the dolly will substantially remain at the same height, which facilitates use of the dolly with standardized loading docks, such as loading docks associated with aircraft.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7043932
    Abstract: A temperature-controlled air cargo container transport dolly for use in transporting perishable cargo from an air cargo storage area to an aircraft. In a preferred embodiment, the air cargo container transport dolly comprises a conventional air cargo trailer having a housing structure mounted thereupon. The housing structure defines a cargo-holding interior within which perishable cargo, as stored within a conventional air cargo container, can be securely stored. To facilitate the ability to move such perishable cargo, rollers may be integrated into the flooring of the housing. A temperature control unit is further integrated within such housing to provide a temperature-controlled environment within the housing. The temperature-control unit will preferably be powered through a variety of means, whether from electricity from an external source, a battery, or by electric generator means, such as a diesel electric generator.
