A service transport unit for providing utilities to a parked aircraft, by way of a utility bundle, comprising a box attached to a passenger loading bridge, at least one slider and corresponding utility bundle tracker slidably mounted within the box wherein the utility bundle is fixed to the outboard terminus of the slider. The slider is mounted in the box and affixed to the passenger loading bridge so that it is pulled from within the container by extension of the passenger loading bridge, and pushed back into the box when the bridge is retracted. The utility bundle is passively extended and retracted by movement of the slider. The slider and utility bundle tracker also serve to guide the utility bundle and prevent it from tangling or kinking during movement of the passenger loading bridge.
