The Baggage Chute (JB1850)
is designed for easy transfer of excess carry-on
luggage from the loading bridge to the tarmac
for stowage by ramp personnel. The mounting
design enables the Baggage Chute
to change elevation with the loading bridge
as it adjusts to service different types of
aircraft. Quick transfer of baggage allows the
aircraft to maintain its on-time performance
as well as saves on manpower energy.
An optional Speed Retarder (JB1850SR)
is available for installation-this is a pneumatic-operated
arm that slows the baggage as it descends. This
option is necessary when the loading bridge
is raised to service wide body and jumbo aircraft.
All component parts have been treated to resist
corrosion for over twenty years of service.
The baggage chute also has
an optional cover. (JB1850-1)
