After Mr. Ingo Trepel solved the catering problem in the middle of the Sixties he started building the first cargo high loaders in Europe.
Forklifts that had been used for loading and discharging of cargo up to this time were no longer accepted because of numerous damages they caused to the aircrafts. The time for the first 12 ton loader had come. During the following years numerous cargo high loaders with different capabilities were added to this product line.
During the Seventies was the developmentation of the so-called mobile lounge – dispatch units that were not only used as a gate but also as busses and stairs. The "Finger system" were quite uncommon at this time.
