Narrative:
While taxiing onto our ramp in aus, I was on our taxi line following the marshaller's directions. Just before we came to a stop, I felt a series of small 'bumps.' I thought the main gear was rolling onto the metal plates on the asphalt. It wasn't until I exited the airplane that I noticed that the #1 engine nacelle had hit a belly loader.
