Tanks are fitted with an underwing and overwing hose reel, and are available with flow capacities from low flow (up to 1,000l/min) through one hose reel, and up 3,800l/min through two deck hoses on a semi-trailer aircraft refueller.

Semi-trailer refuellers feature capacities varying from 35,000l, 40,000l and 45,000l, available in both oval shape and ‘low profile’ or ‘underwing execution’, and a 60,000l and 85,000l version in double D section.

The towing vehicle can be fitted with a complete lifting platform and an enclosed metering and operating cabinet.

All vehicles are fitted with a measuring and monitoring system, which is specifically designed for the refuelling of aircraft and helicopters, and is fully compliant with the ATEX Directive and the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID).

Air-site, or dual air and road-site configurations are available, with single or twin axles, and an optional lifting platform.

  • 11m intake line (4in hose) with 3m extension pantograph. Optional execution in full pantograph
  • Hydraulically powered lifting platform with 4.3m floor height
  • 4in deck pantograph or hoses
  • 4,000l/min filter or water separator
  • Wireless deadman system
