Baggage Handling in Check Baggage Reconciliation Areas

When suspicious baggage is identified, it is diverted to a Checked Baggage Reconciliation Area (CBRA). To undergo additional screening, the baggage is moved several times to different conveyers. However, manually handling during this process can result in injuries or decreased productivity.

TAWI’s vacuum lifting solutions offer a safer, faster way of handling this baggage to reduce the time required for baggage screening and reconciliation. Also, our flexible solutions can be customized to help lift items in confined spaces with tight working heights and building columns, which are found in CBRA environments.

Airport Cargo Handling Equipment

Loading and unloading air cargo involves a lot of work moving it between pallets, open type of containers, airplanes, and load carriers. This loading, unloading and sorting processes are often carried out manually, causing repetitive work-related strain injuries that decrease productivity and lead to more absences from work. But in the fast-paced world of logistics, time is critical.

To maintain safety and efficiency, vacuum lifters can support quick and seamless movement of cargo. They are much safer than manual handling and highly versatile, lifting many different cargo types and sizes.

Our everyday life has become very different compared to how it was before. We used to lift manually and always got very tired during the day since we lifted so many pounds. Now we don't have to lift manually any more. It's really fantastic!
