Airports are one of the busiest material handling facilities, moving thousands of pieces of luggage and materials every day. Having the right tools to move items quickly, efficiently, and safely is essential. Magliner material handling equipment can help do this, whether it’s a 2 wheel dolly or a convertible hand truck. Here are some of the ways Magliner tools can help streamline an airport’s ground operations.

Move Luggage without a Baggage Tug

Typically, baggage handlers use a tug or tractor to move many pieces of luggage at once. Sometimes, though, a few pieces of luggage need to be moved instead of a few dozen, such as last-minute checked baggage. An easy way to transport a few pieces of luggage is with a Magliner convertible hand truck. Stack the few pieces of luggage and move them quickly to the luggage handlers. The convertible hand truck is ideal as it starts as an upright 2 wheel dolly, but transforms into a horizontal hand cart in seconds. It’s perfect for moving items over the level tarmac. It can support up to 1,000 pounds in four-wheel mode, so it’s capable of handling quite a few bags.

Oversized Items Are Easy to Move with a Heavy Duty Hand Truck

Moving oversized items can be tricky. Once they are off incoming planes, they need to get to the oversized or heavy luggage area. A Magliner heavy duty hand truck can help with this. It offers all the utility of the classic Magliner hand truck but with a higher weight capacity. You can also add optional side wings, a self-retracting ratchet strap, and a fourth-wheel assembly to make it easier to break back the dolly. With a weight capacity of 800 pounds, this is a tool that will come in handy at least once or twice a week.

The 2 Wheel Dolly Is Perfect for Miscellaneous Supplies

Moving tools and maintenance supplies is easy when you have Magliner material handling tools. There are a few options you can use for moving supplies and tools, depending on what your employees are moving. The classic 2 wheel dolly can make moving boxes of supplies easy, although more supplies or tools may fit better on a convertible hand truck. Using material handling tools is much faster than trying to move supplies and tools by hand, as your employees can wheel the items quickly and efficiently.

Get Luggage From Skycaps Easily

Skycaps may be convenient for travelers, but getting the luggage to the plane can be a bit harder. Magliner convertible hand trucks, horizontal hand carts, and U-carts can help move luggage from Skycaps to luggage areas. In some cases, your employees may even need a powered stair climbing dolly. These can help move luggage up and down sets of stairs if ramps or a conveyor belt are not readily available.
