ABSTRACT:
A loading device1for loading and unloading of a cargo hold having at least one conveying system for positioning cargo units in the area of a floor space of the cargo hold, and with at least one guiding element guiding the conveying, and a movement aid in the area of the floor space11of the cargo hold5enabling rotation and movement of the cargo unit. Sensors detect the presence of a cargo unit in the area of the conveying system without contact the position of a cargo unit on the floor space is determined in at least two spatial dimensions without contact. The sensors make it possible to control rotating movements of the cargo units in the area of the respective conveying systems by a controller.
