Mammoth Freighters has received the first complete shipset of the Collins Aerospace cargo loading system for its 777-200LRMF passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion.

The delivery milestone results from three years of close collaboration between Mammoth Freighters and Collins Aerospace to optimise the system for the 777 P2F market.

Cameron France, vice president of operations at Mammoth Freighters, said: “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 widebody freighter market

“The specialised 777-200LRMF cargo loading system is an essential element that builds on Collins’ proven powered widebody freighter technologies.”

France added: “The selection of the Collins product is overwhelmingly endorsed by operators already operating 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 Freighters has two 777 aircraft in advanced stages of freighter conversion at its modification partner facility, Aspire MRO based in Fort Worth, Texas.

Mammoth Freighters says its certification process is progressing smoothly and the company expects to achieve full certification of the 777-200LRMF in the second half of 2024.
