Air Tech Innovations supplies turnkey cargo handling solution to Coastair Chartering, Liege, Belgium.

THE CHALLENGE

Coastair is a leading neutral cargo brokerage based at Liege airport. They offer worldwide airlift solutions on scheduled service flights as well as full charter flights.

As part of the exciting growth of the company, Coastair has recently taken on significant warehouse space at Liege airport which will enable them to build-up cargo pallets and secure cargo.

To facilitate the cargo handling and vehicle loading / unloading operations Coastair needed to make significant investment in new materials handling equipment.

THE SOLUTION

Air Tech Innovations Ltd were appointed to provide new cargo handling equipment for Coastair’s Skyhouse warehouse at Liege Airport. 

The equipment provided by Air Tech Innovations consisted of a 20ft Truck Dock Lift (c/w powered roller top deck), rising beam, power roller beds, slave pallets, pallet mover, PMC stillages and a purpose-built external canopy. In addition, Air Tech Innovations also supplied calibrated weighing and label printing equipment to provide weight capture and labelling of the cargo pallets.

As a manufacturer and system integrator, the Air Tech Innovations solution consisted of a full turnkey project including all MHE hardware, together with all required installation and integration to the customers supplied equipment and systems. 

THE RESULTS 

The project was fully project managed by Air Tech Innovations, which extends to on-site supervision and management of the installation through to completion and handover. 

Ronny Samaey, Managing Director Coastair commented: -

“I am very happy with the installation of the equipment, a great engineering team and on-site training for our staff.

When the system was fine-tuned to our needs, we could see a big improvement on the speed of handling our truck loading therefore reducing the warehouse time of each shipment”.
