CHICAGO, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JBT Corporation
(NYSE:JBT) announced today that its JBT AeroTech business has been
awarded a contract from the Canadian Government to supply four of
the newly designed high capacity Halvorsen 44K Loaders to the
Canadian Forces. The 44K Loader is a next generation version of the
Halvorsen 25K Loader, capable of lifting 44,000 pounds of cargo
within the same footprint. The contract for these first four
loaders also includes options to purchase an additional four units
as well as logistics support. Delivery is expected in December,
2008. Halvorsen Loaders are used by military air forces to load,
unload and transport palletized cargo on both military and
commercial cargo aircraft. More than 400 of the 25K Loaders have
been delivered, mainly to the United States military. The new 44K
Loader, like the 25K Loader, can be quickly reconfigured for
shipment and driven into cargo aircraft, a requirement of the
contract. "This new loader will be critical to military air
mobility operations given its ability to be prepared for deployment
in less than 30 minutes to small airfields with limited
infrastructure. Its compact size makes the loader easily
transportable to remote areas and highly maneuverable," said John
Lee, Vice President and Division Manager JBT AeroTech. "The
Halvorsen 44K Loader's ruggedness and adaptability to the harsh
environment also make it a very reliable and low-maintenance
military asset." JBT Corporation (NYSE:JBT) is a leading global
technology solutions provider to the food processing and air
