ABSTRACT:
A mobile cargo handling system and method is provided for transferring containers relatively long distances between two locations by a steerable, self-propelled transporter which is connected to a dolly supported on swivel casters so that the longitudinal axes of the transporter and dolly are maintained parallel to a vertical plane when the system is moving along a circuitous path. The dolly includes a roller deck, and the transporter includes a powered roller deck which is selectively controlled to drive one or more containers onto and off of both roller decks.
