Containerized baggage

Containerized baggage

Autonomous tow tractors can efficiently and safely transport containerized baggage in live airport environments, alongside passengers, ground staff, and conventional vehicles.

Designed for repetitive baggage flows near terminals, they automate short, high-frequency movements while maintaining full operational continuity.

 

Suitable for:

Short distances – Ideal for frequent container transfers between terminals, baggage halls, and handling areas.
Operating around passenger terminals – Safely navigates busy, mixed-traffic zones with pedestrians and service vehicles.
Limited aircraft interactions – Optimized for routes with minimal proximity to aircraft and apron operations.
Auto-hooking with “towbar down” – Enables automated, repeatable coupling of baggage dollies without manual handling.
 

Client example:
Piedmont Airlines with American Airlines - Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP)
