Dubai Airport is already in the world's top 20 for cargo handling and has been using a Gebhardt materials handling system for two years. The two companies see the Middle East in general and the Gulf Region in particular as potential growth markets in the future. At the exhibition Gebhardt is showing its System 300 carton handling equipment and the heavy-duty System 500 for pallets.

The System 300 display will present various possible alternatives for creating a carton-handling system, including horizontal and vertical elements, sortation equipment, turntables and small-radius curves.

Control is by means of RFID technology, which allows precise automatic identification of goods.

The System 500 installation at the show is designed to demonstrate the main features of this equipment for pallet handling, including a load capacity of 2000kg, low noise and vibration levels, high speeds and excellent reliability.
