Jervis B. Webb Company - a subsidiary of Daifuku Co., Ltd. and leading provider of innovative material handling solutions - today announced a contract with Hensel Phelps Construction Co., to design, manufacture, and install an automated in-line baggage handling system at (LAX) Terminal 6.

The system will feature five ticket counter conveyors and two curbside conveyors that will move bags through four CTX 9800 Explosive Detection Systems (EDS) machines.  This is the second baggage handling systems to integrate with the CTX 9800 machines.  Jervis B.
