Automatic 400 Hz cable management for compact, clean apron operations
The power cable coil provides automatic winding and unwinding of aircraft power cables, reducing time and effort while keeping aprons tidy and safe. Thanks to its compact form factor, the unit can be integrated into telescopic ladder racks or installed under-ramp, and can also be configured as stationary or mobile depending on site needs. Control is available remotely or locally via a rugged control unit — or directly from the aircraft connector. An emergency control system allows cable reeling even in the rare case of motor failure. The coil uses a special 400 Hz aircraft cable; standard capacity supports cable lengths up to 24–26 m.
Key benefits
