ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for handling cargo are disclosed which include a plurality of cargo carriers capable of being operated manually by human operators or remotely by a central controller. The carriers are operated in their manual mode to traverse paths near aircraft or other movable objects whose stopping positions cannot be accurately known until arrival. Once the carriers have been loaded and manually guided away from the movable object, they are driven onto a track from which point an automated controller takes over to guide the carriers to their destinations.
