Zusammenfassung:	The report documents an experimental examination of the attainable cargo flowrate for two types of future landing craft: air cushion and planing. Both forklift and crane off-loading were considered, and the performance using 96 inches x 108 inches large pallets was compared with that using 40 inches x 48 inches pallets. It was found that the large pallet concept can increase the productivity of the forklift by more than 300% and the crane by approximately 200% over what is possible with the standard pallet.
