Universal passenger stairs have an operator’s cabin and electric drive motors with torque vectoring and recuperation of energy, that have a longer lifespan, better efficiency and require no maintenance. Li-ion batteries allow fast charging, more cycles and offer simple diagnostics and control over operation and functional parameters. Stairs’ surfaces, well-lighted with the LED lights, provide pleasantly reassuring grip and are also very friendly to sensitive footwear, including the most delicate stilettos. The handrails are integrated into the sides and precise engineering leaves no gap between the stairway and intermediate platform. Sliding platform floor has no fixed connection to the rest of the platform, thus eliminating risk of damaging the aircraft. LCD displays at the operating posts offer an improved user interface with simple and intuitive controls and show all the relevant data about the current state of the stairs, instructions, information and diagnostics.
Modular concept of the stairs with a wide variety of options enables the product to be configured according to the customer’s requirements. The list of options to choose from includes roof with bellow, an auto-following system, Wheelchair Lift and assisted docking options, including ADPS according to IATA requirements. The customer can configure the stairs down to the colour according to the RAL chart and decide on its logos size and position.
The passenger stairs are a high-quality product by design as well as manufacturing, have the CE mark and comply to all the relevant EN standards and optionally IATA recommendations.
