Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle (211) for moving separate pieces of luggage between a luggage depot and an aeroplane, which vehicle comprises a wheeled frame (214), which wheeled frame (214) is provided with conveying means comprising a number of conveying elements disposed above and/or beside one another for conveying separate pieces of luggage between ends of the respective conveying elements with respect to the frame, which vehicle further comprises a bridging conveyor (217) system for conveying pieces of luggage between the respective conveying elements and an aeroplane, wherein the bridging conveyor (217) system comprises a first bridging conveyor as well as a guide system for extending the first bridging conveyor from the vehicle to the aeroplane by means of said guide system, said first bridging conveyor being built up of a number of conveying units which are pivotable relative to each other in at least two perpendicular directions.

Abstract: The invention includes a method and apparatus for transporting goods, such as luggage at airports, wherein the goods are placed into containers which are moved along conveyor tracks by a driving device. The containers are either moved together with the frames over a conveyor track or without the frames over a conveyor track, whereby the conveyor track driving device can directly engage and drive the container when the frame is not present.
