  • Enlarged Overhead Bin

    The Enlarged Overhead Bin offers almost twice the storage space of classic fixed bins, allowing passengers to conveniently bring additional hand luggage, such as two trolleys, on board. This saves time at baggage reclaim and improves comfort. Airlines benefit from additional revenue streams and more efficient unloading processes.

  • Movable Bin

    The Movable Bin has been specially developed for wide-body aircraft. Thanks to its elevated position within the cabin, it creates a more spacious feel, which is a particularly welcome comfort enhancement on long-haul flights. The intelligent mechanism brings the luggage compartment to an ergonomic height when opened, making it easy to stow hand luggage. This concept has been successfully implemented in the Airbus A350, forming an integral part of its modern cabin design.

  • Mechanical Lift System (MLS)

    The Mechanical Lift System is a retrofit solution that has been specifically developed for the Movable Bin and is tailored to the unique requirements of wide-body aircraft. With maximum payloads of over 40 kilograms, closing the overhead bins can place considerable physical strain on cabin crew. The MLS significantly reduces the force required to close the bins, thereby improving ergonomics and working conditions on board. Diehl Aviation is therefore making an important contribution to the health and safety of cabin crew, which is an issue that is becoming increasingly important to international trade unions.
