SubscribeNew Hand Baggage Isolation Units join the AIGIS Blast Protection Container Range
Aigis is launching the latest addition to the company's practical and user-friendly range of Isolation Units - The IU 1200. This new unit is now available alongside its successful big brother, the Hold Baggage container, the IU 2000.
In airports worldwide, the IU 2000 has been used for a number of years: when a suspect bag, even an oversized item, is found, it is quickly and easily slid into the IU 2000, removed to a designated location, and the airport continues to operate, whilst EOD deal with the package in a secure environment.
The new IU 1200 replicates this procedure for Hand Baggage. It is practical and user-friendly and holds even the largest Hand Baggage. Aigis units are exceptionally thoroughly tested, so that even in the event of a blast being near the lowest and inner sides of their containers, staff and passengers close by can avoid injury.
All Aigis containers use the unique TABREshield technology that absorbs explosive blast. This technology also allows Aigis to provide external and internal building protection, including sensitive terminal infrastructure and blast protected rooms for suspect bombers and baggage reconciliation.
Airport Fit and Product Specifications
AIGIS IU 1200 is specifically designed to contain and remove a suspect hand baggage.
