Collapsible (narrow-bodied)
The 'walk-on/walk-off' system is used generally
on narrow-bodied charter aircraft such as DC8 / 737
/ 727 aircraft but there is also a version siutable
for wide-bodied aircraft such as 747 / DC10 / MD11
aircraft.. The equipment is installed in semi-assembled
form into the aircraft prior to loading the horses.
The horses are then walked up a ramp into the aircraft,
or are lifted in a loading box on a hi-loader, into
the doorway. The horses then walk from the aircraft
door into the stalls, which are closed up around
them.
Although the system takes some time to install on the aircraft and remove from the aircraft after use, it does enable horses to be loaded (via a ramp or loading box) extremely quickly and safely. The entire system is designed for quick and compact palletisation, keeping positioning costs to a minimum.
