Description:
1. The Halvorsen Loader (previously, Next Generation Small Loader (NGSL) will replace the oldest 25K loaders and remaining Wide Body
Elevator Loader (WBEL) fleet. Unlike the Tunner (60K Aircraft Loader), the Halvorsen (NGSL) will be C-130 transportable, further enhancing
the Air Force’s ability to support rapid deployment to austere operating locations in accordance with Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF)
doctrine. The Halvorsen, in conjunction with the Tunner, will be an integral part of the airlift system during peacetime logistics missions and
assume minimum ground times for increased capability during wartime and contingency surges.
2. The Halvorsen Loader handles all configurations of air cargo, including 463L pallets, commercial pallets, Army Type V airdrop platforms,
container delivery systems loads, international standard organization containers, and rolling stock. The Halvorsen Loader accommodates three
pallets, loads and off-loads a maximum of 25,000 pounds to a height of at least 18.5 feet (to accommodate 747 aircraft), and has a lowering
capacity to 39 inches to accommodate C-130 aircraft. It will interface with current and planned military cargo aircraft, current civilian model
aircraft utilized by commercial carriers, and the Civil Reserve Air Fleet.
