Chieftain's airport and ground support equipment is purpose-built for the demanding operational environment of airports and airfields. The airport trolley trailer is specifically designed for carrying luggage trolleys between terminals, aircraft stands, and storage areas, addressing one of the most common ground handling requirements at airports of all sizes.
The trolley trailer features five hydraulic ramps that are controlled using a remote control system, allowing a single operator to raise and lower ramps without leaving the towing vehicle or walking around the trailer. This design provides accessibility from all sides of the trailer, bringing speed and efficiency to the trolley loading and unloading process.
Suspension and neck height adjustment are operated via labelled push buttons, allowing the operator to adapt the trailer height for different loading situations, vehicle coupling requirements, and ground conditions. This adjustability is particularly valuable in airport environments where the trailer must interface with various towing vehicles and loading equipment throughout the working day.
The heavy-duty construction reflects the constant use and demanding conditions of airside operations. Airport ground support equipment operates in all weather conditions, handles heavy loads repeatedly throughout each shift, and must maintain reliability because delays on the airfield directly impact flight schedules. Chieftain's proven construction methods, including reinforced chassis and durable finishes, deliver the operational reliability that airports require.
Chieftain's ground support range is suitable for commercial airports, regional airfields, military airfields, and private aviation facilities. The engineering team at Dungannon can work with airport operators and ground handling companies to configure trailers for specific operational requirements.
