Skyway Aviation Handling Company PLC (SAHCO) has expanded its fleet of aviation ground handling equipment with the addition of state-of-the-art facilities to boost its operations.
The new arrivals include air conditioning units, ground power unit toilet bowsers, water bowsers and baggage carts.
The company said in a statement that it took delivery of three units of air conditioning units for aircraft to serve them while on the ground.
It said two of the ACUs are manufactured to produce 50 pounds of preconditioned air per second for wide body aircraft while the remainder is to produce 15 pounds of preconditioned air per second for narrow body aircraft.
The ACUs are built to be environmentally friendly producing less or no carbon monoxide to the atmosphere because they are fitted with tier 4 Engines which is the latest technology in compliance with the strictest emission of particulate matter emission requirement for off-highway diesel engines.
Similarly, the ACUs systems are fitted with a SIM card that is used to monitor the activity of the equipment by both the manufacturer and the end user to curb misuse, abuse and diagnose malfunction.
The ground handling firm also said its engineers constructed three toilet and two water bowsers from locally sourced materials.
The bowsers, it said, are used to produce water and eliminate waste from the aircraft.
Other ground support equipment it produced are baggage carts, which, it also said are built according to European standards.
