Baggage lift systems at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Schiphol Airport installed their first Lifts All baggage lifts in 2013. Today they have more than 100 baggage systems, which the baggage handlers use daily. The baggage equipment includes both the vacuum lifter the Basic and the CLS (Container Loading System). Baggage handlers use the CLS to move baggage from conveyor belts into containers quickly, without lifting or carrying being necessary. The Basic helps the baggage handlers to lift luggage by the means of vacuum technology, making the load feel almost weightless.
