Aviramp launched its much anticipated belt loader, as part of the soon-to-be launched Turnaround Kit.
The Turnaround Kit comprises three specific components: an Aviramp boarding ramp/bridge, a belt loader and a set of steps, completing the streamlined nature of its namesake. The benefits of investing in this kit are the remote control/ease-of-use to maneuver all three products and the one-person operation to save time and simplify the process, alongside the ‘single use training’ required to operate all three products.
The belt loader has an additional aluminium ramp, which allows crew safe access to easily load heavy electric mobility aids onto the belt without any lifting required. The loader is also height adjustable, both front and rear, to make it versatile to use on various aircraft types. There is also an auto breaking system built into the equipment, so the emphasis is always on maintaining and improving safety and negating damage, for both the user and equipment.
The remote control mechanism offers complete 3D viewing of the entire docking area, and shares the same controls with Aviramp. This gives rise to another key benefit as ground handlers will only need to be trained once to use all three pieces of equipment, given that they are all operated in exactly the same way, using the same remote control. No multi-training for multi systems required, just one common operation, meaning a less convoluted process. This can also eliminate error, as the team only needs to learn once how to use the same set of controls to operate all three products.
