Abstract: A cargo handling system for handling cargo in an area of operation is disclosed. The system comprises at least one extendable conveyor having at least one fixed end and at least one movable end and at least one multi-axis means coupled with the extendable conveyor to enable the conveyor to span the entire area of operation. The multi-axis means comprises at least one linear movement means to control the linear movement of the conveyor and at least one pivotable two-axis means to control lateral and vertical movement of the conveyor. Further, the system comprises at least one two-axis loader cart coupled with the extendable conveyor and co-operating with the multi-axis means to minimize cantilever of the extendable conveyor and position the moving end of the conveyor to a desired location and controlling means adapted to control the multi-axis means for automated operation of the extendable conveyor.
