Heavy cargo, human-sized control
The suit does not carry cargo itself. It gives a single operator the stability, reach, and tractor control needed to lift, stack, and place large containers with far more confidence than a handheld tool allows.

POWERED LOADING SUIT
ARGO ATLS
A cargo-lifting exosuit from Argo
The ARGO ATLS is a powered cargo-handling suit for places where a handheld tractor tool is not enough and a full vehicle is too large. Its integrated tractor beam gives one operator precise control over containers up to 32 SCU.

Cargo Handling Exoframe
The missing link in cargo handling
ATLS stands for Assisted Transport and Loading System. ARGO built this powered exoframe to move heavy containers safely in hangars, cargo decks, and other tight work areas where conventional loading vehicles are impractical.
Built in an evolving universe
The ATLS is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.24.1. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Loading equipment
One operator at work in the ATLS
The powered frame supports the operator, the tractor beam takes the weight, and fine control makes it possible to align large containers with cargo grids, lifts, and narrow ship entrances.
Handles containers up to 32 SCU
The assisted frame and tractor system can manipulate containers up to 32 SCU, covering loads that are far beyond manual handling.
Grid-free stacking
The tractor system can stack containers without relying on a cargo grid, which is useful while organizing a hold or staging freight for loading.
Precise placement
Fine control helps the operator align containers with lifts, cargo grids, and ship entrances instead of simply dragging them into the general area.
Assisted exoframe
The powered frame supports the operator's strength and stability, reducing the strain and risk involved in handling heavy freight.
Stable lifting stance
The powered frame supports the operator while the tractor beam moves the load, keeping heavy handling controlled inside a human-sized footprint.
Direct operator feedback
The ATLS lets one person see the load and feel the assisted frame's response throughout the movement.
Defining feature
The ATLS tractor beam at work
A purpose-built tractor beam on the right arm lets the operator take hold of cargo without carrying a separate tool.

The tractor-assisted frame can manipulate containers far beyond the practical limit of manual cargo handling.
Fine movement gives the operator the accuracy needed for cargo grids, lifts, and narrow ship entrances.
Its compact body fits inside cargo spaces that would be difficult or impossible for a conventional vehicle.
One operator from grip to placement
Moving a container
The work cycle stays simple: one person controls the suit, the tractor beam, and the final placement, even when the container is too large for a handheld tool.
Enter
Step into the exoframe
The operator takes direct control of the suit and checks that the work area is clear around the container.
Grip
Take hold with the tractor beam
Acquire the container cleanly and confirm there is room to move it without clipping nearby cargo or equipment.
Place
Align the load precisely
Use the assisted frame and fine tractor control to line the container up with a grid, lift, or ship entrance.
Release
Clear the area for the next lift
Set the container down securely, release it, and move straight to the next load without changing vehicles or tools.
Worksite details
ATLS work cycle in detail
Its compact footprint, direct controls, and grid-free stacking are all aimed at the same job: moving heavy freight accurately in spaces where a conventional loader would get in the way.
01Works in tight cargo spaces
Its human-sized footprint lets the ATLS work inside hangars and cargo bays that cannot accommodate a conventional loading vehicle.
02One operator, one loading system
One person can step into the frame, collect a container, and position it without handing control between a driver and a separate tractor operator.
03Compact footprint
At 1.8 metres long and 2 metres wide, the ATLS takes up little floor space when stored between loading jobs.
04Shipboard cargo support
The suit is sized for regular use around freight ships, helping crews turn awkward loading spaces into practical working areas.
