Abstract: A roller unit that can be used to retrofit a cargo carrying surface makes loading and unloading of the cargo carrying surface easier by transforming the cargo carrying surface to include a conveyor system. The roller unit includes at least two trays in which are mounted rollers, the trays being connected by a crosspiece. The roller unit is designed to be installed on cargo carrying surfaces such as portable platforms, including Flatracks or CROPs, and in cargo containers of any type.

Abstract: Systems and methods for platforms designed to be loaded with pre-loaded 463L pallets or other pallets configured for use in a transport aircraft. The truck platform, once loaded with 463L pallets, is then loaded onto a truck (in particular a PLS truck or other truck utilizing a hook system such as those used to load traditional CROPs or flatracks) for ground transport.
