By eliminating heavy lifting, twisting movements and tossing of bags, the Tail Loader minimizes manual handling risks and improves the efficiency of baggage handling operations.
Its wide operating range provides exceptional flexibility, allowing baggage handlers to position it optimally and eliminate the need for lifting.
The Tail Loader is an ergonomic lifting device designed to bridge the gap between the rear end of a belt loader and a baggage cart or ULD.
The semi-automatic design of the Tail Loader further improves ergonomics by streamlining the transfer of luggage, eliminating the need for handlers to perform awkward or strenuous movements. By reducing manual handling, the Tail Loader promotes a healthier workplace and contributes to a safer, more sustainable baggage handling operation.
With its wide operating range, the Tail Loader can be positioned optimally to accommodate handlers when loading/unloading different baggage cart or ULD configurations. This adaptability ensures a comfortable working posture, allowing handlers to operate more efficiently and with less fatigue over the course of their shifts.
The Tail Loader is specifically designed to address the ergonomic challenges faced by baggage handlers during the loading and unloading processes at the rear end of the belt loader. By eliminating the need for heavy lifting, twisting, and tossing, the Tail Loader significantly reduces the physical strain on ramp agents. This not only enhances their overall safety but also helps prevent common workplace injuries such as back and shoulder injuries, muscle strains, and repetitive motion disorders.

By minimizing manual handling, the Tail Loader:
Designed for durability in demanding airport environments, the Tail Loader is robust, user-friendly, and easy to operate and maintain, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for ground handling teams.
Its innovative design enables an efficient one-person operation at the rear of the belt loader, maintaining or even boosting productivity. The extended reach and flexibility allow baggage carts to be positioned farther from the belt loader, ensuring seamless operation, improved efficiency, and greater adaptability on the ramp.
Manual baggage lifting and handling are the main risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among baggage handlers, often leading to injuries, absenteeism and increased costs. With many airports worldwide facing challenges in recruiting and retaining baggage handling staff, the Tail Loader provides an ergonomic solution that enhances efficiency while reducing strain in daily operations.
Maximizing productivity with smarter baggage handling
This reduction in damage not only enhances passenger satisfaction but also lowers costs associated with baggage claims and repairs. The Tail Loader offers a solution that benefits both ground handlers and passengers, ensuring luggage arrives at its destination in the best possible condition.
The Tail Loader is designed not only to improve efficiency and ergonomics but also to reduce baggage damage during handling. By minimizing manual lifting and tossing of bags, the Tail Loader ensures a gentler handling process.
The wide working range offers exceptional flexibility, allowing the operator to effortlessly move the unit left and right and adjust its length and height to reach both low and high positions. This ensures the Tail Loader can be positioned as close as possible to baggage and cargo, eliminating the need for manual lifting and enabling a smooth, safe, and gentle handling process.
2.Motorized belts
The motorized belts bridge the gap between the cart/ULD and the rear end of the belt loader, allowing operators to slide bags onto the Tail Loader instead of lifting and tossing them. The unit has a load capacity of 400 kg/882 lbs in the home position and can smoothly transport items weighing up to 100 kg/220 lbs in any working position.
3.Multi-purpose handle
The multi-purpose handle, located on both sides of the device, offers intuitive control for the operator, enabling responsive and swift motorized movements for efficient handling operations.
4.Home position
The Home button automatically centers, retracts, and lowers the Tail Loader to its home position, ensuring its protection in harsh airport environments.
5.Safety
The Tail Loader is equipped with multiple safety features designed to enhance operator protection and ensure safe and efficient baggage handling.
