Fahrbare Gepäckförderer für das Flughafenvorfeld bestehen meist aus einem Hauptförderer und ei9nem an deren hinteren Ende angeordneten Zuförderer mit einem den Übergang abdeckenden Zwischentisch. Anstatt dabei das hintere Ende des Hauptförderers und auch den Zwischentisch immer auf der gleichen Höhe zu belassen und nur das vordere Ende des Hauptförderers für den Arbeitsbetrieb einzustellen, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, auch das hintere Ende des Hauptförderers höhenveränderbar zu gestalten und an diesem hinteren Ende den Zwischentisch und das vordere Ende des Zuförderers direkt zu befestigen. Dadurch wird durch die Einstellung der Höhenlage des hinteren Endes des Hauptförderers eine Grobeinstellung auf den jeweiligen Arbeitseinsatz durchgeführt, die während des Ladevorganges nicht mehr verändert wird. Kleinere notwendige Anpassungen werden anschließend durch Höhenveränderung des hinteren Endes des Zuförderers bewältigt. Mobile luggage conveyors for the airport apron usually consist of a main conveyor and a feeder arranged at the rear end thereof with an intermediate table covering the transition. Instead of always leaving the rear end of the main conveyor and the intermediate table at the same height and adjust only the front end of the main conveyor for working, the invention proposes to make the rear end of the main conveyor height adjustable and at this rear end of the intermediate table and attach the front end of the feeder directly. As a result, by adjusting the altitude of the rear end of the main conveyor a coarse adjustment to the respective work performed, which is not changed during the charging process. Smaller necessary adjustments are then overcome by changing the height of the rear end of the feeder.
