Air cargo handlers specialize in loading, staging, securing and unloading cargo and baggage on airplanes.
To accurately perform their duties, they must calculate the aircraft's center of gravity and assess the quantity of cargo.
Air cargo handlers work in all weather conditions and operate a variety of equipment, including trucks, forklifts, conveyors and baggage tugs. Loaded cargo can include luggage, mail sacks and animals.
Airplanes ship bags of all sizes, so handlers must be able to lift heavy objects that weigh more than 50 pounds. These professionals can also expect to work on holidays and weekends.
