Mammoth gets first cargo loading system from Collins for 777-200LRMF
Currently, Mammoth has two 777 aircraft in the advanced stages of freighter conversion.
Mammoth Freighters LLC (Mammoth) has received the first complete shipset of Collins Aerospace's (Collins) cargo loading system for the Mammoth 777-200LRMF passenger-to-freighter conversion. This delivery is the result of a three-year partnership between Mammoth and Collins, dedicated to optimising the system for the 777 passenger-to-freighter markets, according to an official release by Mammoth Freighters.
“It is Mammoth’s mission to develop one of the most productive and economical long-range freighters in the world by incorporating fundamentals which exceed the current and future demands of the widebody freighter market,” says Cameron France, Mammoth Vice President of Operations. “The specialised 777-200LRMF cargo loading system is an essential element that builds on Collins’ proven powered widebody freighter technologies.”
“The selection of the Collins product is overwhelmingly endorsed by operators already operating the Collins cargo loading system on 777 production freighters because the system offers a high level of parts commonality and reliability on the line," France adds.
Currently, Mammoth has two 777 aircraft in the advanced stages of freighter conversion at Mammoth’s modification partner facility, Aspire MRO based in Fort Worth, Texas. Mammoth’s certification process is progressing smoothly, and the company expects to achieve full certification of the 777-200LRMF in the second half of this year, the release added.
