A mobile cargo controller for a cargo handling system is disclosed, and may include an inertial measurement unit(s), a plurality of cargo zone selectors, a plurality of cargo zone indicators, and a cargo motion controller(s). Different combinations of one or more of the cargo zone selectors are activatable to correspond with different cargo zones of a cargo compartment (e.g., for an aircraft). Each cargo zone that is selected or activated through actuation of one or more of the cargo zone selectors activates each corresponding cargo zone indicator based upon a current orientation of the mobile cargo controller. As such, the particular cargo zone indicator(s) that is/are activated to identify a particular active cargo zone to an operator will differ for different orientations of the mobile cargo controller.
