A cargo handling system (100) for handling cargo in an area (20) of operation is disclosed. The system comprises at least one extendable conveyor (10) having at least one fixed end and at least one movable end, at least one multi-axis means coupled with the extendable conveyor (10) 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, at least one pivotable two-axis means (30) to control lateral and vertical movement of the conveyor. Further the system comprises at least one two-axis loader cart (50) coupled with the extendable conveyor (10) and co-operating with the multi-axis means to minimize cantilever of the extendable conveyor and position the moving end of the conveyor (10) to a desired location and controlling means adapted to control the multi-axis means for automated operation of the extendable conveyor. |
