Retractable roller conveyor installed in floor of its truck trailers now makes it possible for Cosmar Airfreight Service at Newark Airport to handle variety of palletized igloos and unpalletized loads in same truck at same time and provide quicker turnaround; retractable rollers, installed in four rows in floor of trailer, can be raised or lowered in 15 sec by hand-operated hydraulic pump which works much like auto jack; in raised position, pallets can be rolled into trailer; when trailer is fully loaded rollers are lowered and cargo then rides squarely on floor planks.
