RAMPER INNOVATIONS
Our Mission:
Reducing Ramp Agent Injuries
Today, there is a significant risk of injuries to ramp agents as a result of how cargo is currently loaded and unloaded. In addition, we see damage to aircraft and cargo. The physical demands of the job alone cause inefficiencies in operations.
Industry Problems
These are some of the most common and costly issues around loading and unloading aircraft. Operational issues that every ground service manager needs to control for an efficient and safe operation with on-time schedules and on-budget operations.
On-site Injuries
Studies show that 76% of ramp agents will have a time-loss injury at one point in their career. However, only 1/3 of injuries to Ramp agents get recorded as time-loss injuries. Non-recorded injuries are costing Airlines money in hard-to-measure ways. Injured employees will be:
• Less efficient • Call in sick more often • Have lower morale • More likely to seek work elsewhere
• Less efficient • Call in sick more often • Have lower morale • More likely to seek work elsewhere
Loading Times
1. A well-rested experienced crew manually handles 15 bags a minute. With TISABAS, the team is not stressed, and even an inexperienced team can move 16 bags a minute at its slowest speed.
2. TISABAS fast speed moves up to 24 bags a minute. MUT (makeup time) is huge with this potential.

Damage Claims
1. Airlines spend $2.1B in baggage claims a year.
2. Damage to cargo and mail is also a factor.
3. Throwing items results in substantial damage to the aircraft as well.

Worker's Compensation
1. On average, a worker’s comp claim costs $122,000 for direct cost and increased premiums.
2. Indirect costs such as administration, overtime, and additional stress on a crew are also significant.

Departure Delays
Three of the top 7 reasons an aircraft are delayed involve the loading process.
Decreased Revenue
Often, cargo gets bumped because the lead feels he doesn’t have time or doesn’t want to stress his crew further. This slows down the flow of operations which affects the ability to bring in revenue.
The Solution:
TISABAS™
(TI)m • (SA)ves • (BA)cks
These are the same issues TISABAS was designed to solve, issues which are especially significant when loading and unloading narrow-bodied aircraft. TISABAS is a compact motorized folding conveyor system that goes into the aircraft belly and mechanically moves baggage and cargo. eliminating the need to throw heavy baggage, mail and freight the length of the aircraft. This reduces time and operational costs while making ramp agent jobs safer, easier and more efficient.
Air carriers, ground-handling contractors and freight operators using TISABAS can:
- Load More in Less Time
- Lower Agent Turnover
- Reduce Operation Costs
- Decrease Agent Injuries
-
Reduce Damage to Aircraft
and Baggage
Benefits of TISABAS™
Motorized Conveyor
Utilizing a motorized conveyor reduces the manual labor needed to move cargo/bags facilitates an ergonomic work environment, reducing injuries.
Low Cost Solution
TISABAS is approximately 85-90% less expensive to purchase than our closest competitor or the current manual method.
To Ramp Agents the benefits are priceless.
To Ramp Agents the benefits are priceless.
Reduces Damage
TISABAS allows for a smooth delivery process of luggage/cargo eliminating the impact of items being thrown down the belly of the plane, nearly eliminating the damage to both planes and cargo.
Safer Work Environment
TISABAS allows baggage/cargo handling staff to complete their work in an ergonomic position in cramped conditions.
Increase Efficiency
With TISABAS, cargo/baggage handling teams are able to move more in less time and with fewer people.
Increase Profitablity
With TISABAS, you can move more in less time with minimal stress on the crew. As a result, airlines can consistently move more cargo on passenger flights adding revenue to the bottom line.
User Feedback
“When I first tried TISABAS, two of us unloaded a fully packed pit 4 (737-800) without breaking a sweat. No stress on the back, shoulders or elbows. I was also impressed at how fast the sections folded down and lengthened as the pit emptied out. Two thumbs up!!”
“Your development will increase the efficiency in cargo and baggage handling. It will save the bucks of our front-line ambassadors. We thank you for helping us to achieve our 25-minute turnaround mandate.”
This conveyor makes all aspects of loading and unloading the aircraft much easier. The simple fact that it is getting the bags up off the belly floor where I can get my hands under them and not have to grip the bags saves so much energy.
