Quick Verdict
PARA-Push is a simple, rugged device for heavy, awkward items such as airport baggage. Its pantograph arm sweeps the full width of a 45-inch belt, so items need no alignment beforehand, and diverts at 90 degrees. A VFD-controlled 5 hp gear motor ramps smoothly for a gentle push and returns home within 2 seconds. It handles 30 items per minute up to 54.4 kg and is rated for more than 3 million cycles with low maintenance.
