Explore the ZL-CBM50
The EP ZL-CBM50 is a towable, non-motorized belt loader designed for efficient aircraft baggage and cargo handling. Combining simplicity with precision, it offers stepless height adjustment between 1,200 mm and 3,600 mm to accommodate diverse aircraft types. Its low-weight structure, durable chassis, and hydraulic power system ensure smooth lifting and steady operation, while the optional powertrain and rain canopy configurations adapt it perfectly to different operational needs.
The ZL-CBM50 is a compact, non-motorized loader easily handled by one or two operators for short-distance use or towed by a tractor for longer hauls. Its low-mass chassis and agile steering simplify alignment with aircraft doors, increasing efficiency and safety on crowded ramps.
Towable, lightweight design
A dual hydraulic-cylinder system allows smooth, continuous height adjustment from 1,200 mm to 3,600 mm, covering a wide range of aircraft cargo holds. The bidirectional hydraulic lock ensures the platform remains secure at any position, preventing unexpected descent.
Stepless adjustable lifting range
The self-made chassis is constructed from high-quality rectangular steel tubes, welded and electroplated for corrosion resistance. Its low-center-of-gravity structure enhances stability, while manual or power-assisted steering ensures precise handling under all conditions.
Durable, precision-engineered chassis
The integrated safety-docking system provides both visual and audible proximity alerts during aircraft approach. Infrared sensors, foldable guardrails, and optional stainless-steel guide baffles keep operators and equipment secure. The emergency electric or manual pump ensures full operation even in power-loss scenarios.
Advanced safety and reliability features
Application
Engineered for small to medium-sized airports, regional airlines, and ground-handling teams, the ZL-CBM50 is ideal for loading and unloading baggage, parcels, and mail in aircraft service areas. It can be easily maneuvered by one or two operators or towed by a baggage tractor for longer distances. Its compact footprint and excellent steering responsiveness make it perfect for congested ramps or limited-access zones where space and agility are critical.

About the ZL-CBM50
The ZL-CBM50 represents EP Equipment’s expertise in reliable, efficient, and user-friendly ground-support machinery. With its self-made welded steel chassis, robust hydraulic system, and refined conveyor frame design, it combines strength with smooth performance. The towable design eliminates the need for an onboard engine, minimizing maintenance and operating costs. Equipped with intelligent safety systems—including infrared proximity sensors and a safe docking alarm—the ZL-CBM50 protects both aircraft and operators. Available with Yanmar or Honda engines for hydraulic power, multiple conveyor lengths, and customizable canopies, it is a cost-effective, durable, and environmentally conscious solution for airside operations.
FAQs
Common questions people ask about the ZL-CBM50.
What is the load and speed capacity of the conveyor?
The ZL-CBM50 offers a conveyor speed of 0.16–0.5 m/s, with a belt width of 600 mm and strong load-bearing rollers designed for long-term durability.
What is the lifting range for aircraft compatibility?
The conveyor platform lifts from 1,200 mm up to 3,600 mm, covering most narrow- and medium-body aircraft configurations.
How is the unit powered?
As a towable loader, the ZL-CBM50’s conveyor and hydraulic systems are powered by an onboard diesel or gasoline engine, such as the Yanmar 3TNV70-SSY or Honda GX270H2. Both options drive the hydraulic gear pump to lift and operate the conveyor efficiently.
Is the ZL-CBM50 suitable for smaller or space-restricted airports?
Yes. With compact dimensions (5,820 × 1,685 × 1,250 mm) and a turning radius of just 7 m, it’s optimized for smaller aprons, regional airports, and confined spaces.
What safety and comfort options are available?
The loader can be equipped with infrared distance sensors, foldable guardrails, rain canopies (semi- or fully-enclosed), and optional video displays (4.3 in or 7 in). Combined with the CAN-bus control and hydraulic locking systems, these features make operation both safe and comfortable in all conditions.
