The e-CUS is Lifts All’s Electric Container Unloading System. It is used at airports to unload ULDs (containers) safely and ergonomically.

Thanks to its intuitive design, learning how to use the e-CUS is easy. The operator simply positions the e-CUS at the opening of a container using the touch functions on the handles. The conveyor belt on the machine is controlled by the two buttons on the sides, one for tilting up and one for down. The belt starts rolling when activated with the Start button. Luggage is then placed on the moving belt, which acts as a bridge between the container and the airport’s baggage conveyor belt.

Luggage may need to be spread out over the baggage conveyor belt, and the operator may need to pick up bags from further away. For this, the e-CUS is designed so the operator can move it using only their body weight — by pushing it around. There is no need to press any buttons to move the unit along the overhead rails, so the operator can work without interruptions.

With the e-CUS, a bag is unloaded from a container (ULD) in just three seconds, and manual lifting becomes obsolete. The operator no longer needs to lift baggage unergonomically or carry it between the container and the conveyor belt. The result is a more ergonomic work environment, with healthier staff who often experience a decrease in their sick-leave notices.

Installing a baggage handling system is a relatively simple procedure. It can be mounted on ceiling rails or directly on the floor, and installed next to a baggage carousel or a lateral system. The method of installation depends on the workplace and its conditions. Systems are adapted to work with the type of carts or containers used in the workplace. Lifts All’s container unloading system is available in both pneumatic (CUS) and electric (e-CUS) versions.
