Lifts All Airport Handling Solutions - Energy-Saving and Ergonomic Baggage Lifts

Lifts All is a Swedish manufacturing company that produces the air-driven lifting device Bal-Trol and its pneumatic grippers. Every gripper is customized and produced under the same roof at Lifts All's facility, just outside Stockholm. Our product line today consists of Bal-Trols with grippers, lightweight aluminium overhead-crane systems, and jib cranes. We also provide installation and technical services.

Baggage-handling hoist with moving pulley system

Bal-Trol is an aluminium hoist with a unique moving pulley system, driven by 6bar air pressure. It is light, small and energy saving.

Gripper for baggage handling

The most recent addition to our product line is the BHV baggage handler – a specially designed gripper for baggage handling at airports. To create the best baggage lifter possible we met the tough demands of three different airports. The demands from the operators were speed, silence and ergonomics; the demand from the investors was cost-effectiveness.

The BHV baggage handler is able to lift 50kg or 100kg. A robust vacuum cup with a foldable hook makes it possible to lift all kinds of baggage. The load can be handled and rotated freely 360°. Both standing and laying bags can be lifted.

To keep operators healthy the gripper's handle is developed and tested with everyday users. It is specially designed with a rubber plate to relieve stress on arm and wrist. To suit both left and right-handed operators with either big or small hands, the buttons are adjusted in a few seconds. The angle of the handle is also easily adjusted to four different positions for maximum comfort.

Silent baggage-handling gripper

The operator's ears are spared thanks to a noise level of only 54dB(A).

High-speed baggage-handling gripper

The BHV baggage handler's quick movement up and down, automatic grip and release function optimizes the handling procedure. Only two buttons are used when lifting. The speed up and down is easily adjustable to the operator's demands.

Energy saving baggage-handling gripper

Thanks to the latest vacuum technology the energy costs are minimized. Vacuum is only used during the lift of a bag. The rest of the time the unit is totally silent and no energy is used.

The minimum of air consumption makes the BHV baggage handler a real energy saver, using less than 10% of the energy compared to other vacuum lifters. Large airports, which use many BHV baggage handlers, are saving around €100,000 per annum in energy costs.
