The disclosure relates to a power drive unit (PDU) for transporting cargo units into, out of, and/or within a cargo hold, as well as a cargo management system and a method of transporting cargo units into, out of and/or within a cargo hold. The PDU comprises a frame, by which the PDU is rigidly attached to a floor of the cargo hold, a body pivotably attached, via a hinge, at a first end of the frame, at least one drive roller attached at a second end of the body, and an actuator attached to the body and configured to cause a pivoting angular movement of the body, relative to the frame, about the hinge. An angular position of the body relative to the frame is maintained by the actuator even upon a loss of power to the PDU, and the body is configured to move between and including a retracted position and a deployed position.
