Mammoth Freighters LLC (Mammoth) has received the first complete shipset of the Collins Aerospace (Collins) cargo loading system for the Mammoth 777-200LRMF passenger-to-freighter conversion. This delivery milestone is the culmination of three years of close collaboration between Mammoth and Collins to optimise the system for the 777 passenger-to-freighter market.
“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 wide-body freighter market,” remarked Cameron France, Mammoth Vice President of Operations. “The specialised 777-200LRMF cargo loading system is an essential element that builds on Collins' proven powered wide-body freighter technologies.”
France added, “The selection of the Collins product is overwhelmingly endorsed by operators already using the Collins cargo loading system on 777 production freighters because the system offers a high level of parts commonality and reliability on the line.”
Currently, Mammoth has two 777 aircraft in advanced stages of freighter conversion at its 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.
