The Bag Lift provides a solution for carry-on luggage congestion at boarding gates for airports servicing Regional Jets. The design allows the passenger to load and unload their own bags at concourse level without utilizing gate agent personel. The bag cart can be called or sent to the concourse or ramp by either the gate agent or ramp workers. The bag cart is pushed by a ramp worker to the aircraft for loading and unloading gate checked luggage.
