With the help of a counter-weight mechanism, the ground handler can bring the pit system easily into operation right next to the aircraft. Afterwards, ground supplies are provided under ergonomical working heights and aircrafts can be supplied easily, fast and safely with pre-conditioned air. The Pop-up Pit can hold up to two PCA hoses.
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.
Intelligent and simple design
The PCA pits simple design makes it reliable and durable. Due to the use of corrosion resistant materials, the pit system is perfectly prepared for the harsh environmental conditions on the apron. The intelligent construction at the hose outlet allows easy and fast extraction and retraction of the hose and the connector can be perfectly stowed.
