The Hatch Pit is simply opened with a single touch and all of the required gound power cables are available next to the aircraft. Therefore, the airplane can be easily, fast and safely connected to the 400 Hz ground power. The Hatch Pit can hold up to two 400 Hz cables plus additional supplies as needed.
Efficiency at its best
You save time and money. The necessary connections are always available on site and ready to use. The thought-out product concept makes the pit system very easy to service and maintain and increases the service cycles. A closed system perfectly uses the available space underneath the apron as it can bear loads up to 90 tons.
