Moving cargo between pallets and/or containers fast and efficient with TAWI airport lifting solutions.
Loading and unloading air cargo at airports
Air cargo is transported around the world in cargo planes that are typically loaded with ULDs (Unit Load Device) or container and cargo pallets. Before the cargo is loaded onto the airplane, it needs to be sorted and loaded into a ULD, a work that also includes moving air cargo between pallets and open type of containers.
After unloading the airplane, the cargo must be unloaded from the ULD to appropriate types of load carriers used for the next transport at the airport. This loading, unloading and sorting process is often carried out manually, causing repetitive work-related strain injuries with lower productivity and high sick absence as a result.

Safe high-speed box lifting at airports
TAWI has developed high-frequency lifting solutions for air cargo to solve the handling problems within Air Cargo terminals. The solutions focus on improving worker satisfaction, productivity and reducing work related strain injuries and at the same time bringing damage to the cargo to a minimum level.
TAWIs ergonomic air cargo lifting solutions are being used for various applications:
- Moving cargo between pallet type of ULDs (PAG, PYB etc) or open type of container ULDs (AKH, AAX)
- Loading or unloading large container type of ULDs (AMJ, AAX, AAC, AMX, AML, AMJ, AAA, AMD)
- In addition to specialized air cargo solutions TAWI also provides solutions for parcel carriers that of course also can be implemented for Air Cargo handling. This includes solutions forunloading containers and trailersas well as solutions for sorting and palletizing incoming or outgoing parcels.
