Baggage Loading Assistance
Freightquip supplies ergonomic baggage loading assistance systems in partnership with TurnTime Technologies. These units act as powered conveyor extensions that minimise physical strain during loading and unloading by delivering luggage deep into or out of the aircraft hold, eliminating awkward lifting or twisting for ground staff. Ideal for ramp operations and terminal handling, they help reduce fatigue, injury risk, and handling time.
Designed for retrofitting to existing belt loaders, these systems provide intuitive operation, fast handling rates, and significant safety improvements—making them a key component in airport ground efficiency strategies.
Technical Overview:
The TurnTime system features a motorised roller conveyor capable of processing one bag every 4–5 seconds, with individual item capacity up to 150 kg. It attaches securely to most standard belt loaders and is height-adjustable to suit varying aircraft cargo hold levels. Operation is controlled via ergonomic hand grips and includes safety interlocks and emergency stops. Built to withstand intensive daily use, the system is engineered for minimal maintenance and can be easily deployed as part of broader airport automation strategies.
