A loading designates the around, up or an unloading of goods on certain means of transport with the goal of transportation. For this special infrastructures serve such as freight transport places with mechanisms such as ramps, magazines, camps etc. a rare special form of unloading are the release of goods from airplanes at the shipping place.
As means devices and plants, e.g. conveying engineering as well as loading plants are used.
With nearly all vehicles is the distribution of the loads of importance for the driving and/or flight behavior. For this a so-called load master is responsible with large means of transport (ships, air freighters).
The loading to country usually takes place in the rail traffic at goods stations. In the transportation of goods by road traffic only a lifting witness, suction plants or pumps are usually used.
The loading (here: "Shelters ") and/or unloading (here: "Deletion ") of containers is made by Other shipping aids are e.g. cranes, suction plants or pumps. The loading usually takes place at handels and
In air traffic air freight (cargo) will ship almost exclusively as bulk in containers in and/or from the cargo (partial also in the passenger cab).
Most air freighters are loaded over the lateral cargo flaps in the counter ceiling.
When shipping into the passenger compartment the side doors are used. Very large and special Luftfahrzeugmuster like B 747-400F are loaded from the nose. For this a front flap becomes (opened under the Pilotenkanzel.
Some military air freighters are loaded completely from the tail, e.g. Transall C-160 and Lockheed C-5. With loadings in aviation lifting platforms as well as assembly-lines are typical. The dispatching usually takes place at cargo terminals. The load times are shortest with air freighters, since it concerns the most cost-intensive means of transport. Service lives must be kept minimal therefore.
In military aviation and at humanitarian relief work an unloading partly takes place by the release of the goods, whereby the containers are hung to parachutes. Reason for this are missing infrastructure, states of war or intended scattering.
