Handling luggage in airports involves moving dolly directly to unloading device to align with loading station, securing container to station, tilting container so items slide onto conveyor

摘要

The method involves transporting containers (18) with suspensions devices or dollies (16) to a luggage conveyor system, where a dolly with a loaded container is next to a luggage conveyor belt, e.g. leading to a luggage output. The dolly is moved directly to an unloading device to align with a loading station (14). The container is secured to the loading station and is tilted forwards so the items slide under gravity onto a conveyor belt. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for implementing the method.
