Abstract: Baggage handling conveyor system for conveying articles needed to be supported by trays as well as articles not needed such support, comprising a delivery platform for receiving articles, a storage device for storing trays and a conveyor for selectively and automatically moving a tray from the storage device to the delivery platform. The conveyor is movable between a position establishing a conveying connection between the storage device and the delivery platform, and a position disrupting the connection. Articles may be moved from the delivery platform to a predetermined destination. The system reduces the risk of, e.g., back injuries to the staff. The system is well suited for airport check-in counters.
