Product catalog summary
Overview
ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems specializes in the production of passenger boarding bridges (PBBs), utilizing advanced resources and machinery tailored for PBB manufacturing. The focus is on high-quality materials and procedures to ensure superior standards, reliability, and extended service life.

System Components
The TKAS Noseloader PBB includes key components such as support columns, walkways, tunnels, cabins, elevation systems, service stairs, and telescoping drive systems.

Electrical Characteristics
The main power supply for the PBB is 400V/50Hz with a start-up intensity of 75 A. Export models are adaptable to local power characteristics, including a 480 V/60 Hz supply for the USA.

Standards & Regulations
The PBBs comply with various international standards, including European Directives, ISO, IEC, and specific standards for China and the USA. Certificates include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and others.

Operating Range
The Noseloader PBB is designed to accommodate aircraft from categories C to E, with ergonomic controls for ease of operation. Architectural requirements are customizable per client needs.

Characteristics
The Noseloader PBB features vertical and horizontal tunnel movement for precise aircraft parking. Options include steel or glazed tunnel walls, with automated systems to minimize human error. The PBB is available in a two-tunnel version.

General Technical Data
The PBB model nomenclature describes the Noseloader, extended and retracted lengths, and the number of tunnels. Dimensional characteristics are provided in both metric and imperial units.

Parameters
Live load and wind load parameters are specified according to EN and USA standards, with maximum loads detailed for both operational and non-operational states.

Useful Load & Design Loads
Specifications for two-tunnel steel models are provided, detailing various model configurations and their respective load capacities.

ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems Two-tunnel steel MODEL EN Standard pmax = 300 kg/m2 pmax = 100 km/h pmax = 150 km/h ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems (TKAS) offers complete, flexible global gate solutions. By providing project-tailored passenger boarding bridges (PBBs), the most diverse and demanding client requirements can be fulfilled. TKAS production lines are equipped with the latest in resources and machinery which have been especially and exclusively developed for the manufacture of PBBs. The overall concept is based on employing top quality materials and procedures to guarantee the highest standard offinishing. The corrosion protection system applied has been specially developed to improve reliability and extend service life far beyond the average. SYSTEM COMPONENTS The TKAS Noseloader PBB includes the following main components: 4i \ \ ' ____irfiM" 1. Support column 5. Elevation system 3. Tunnels 7. Telescoping drive system 4. Cabin CHARACTERISTICS The Noseloader PBB (NL) is a specific design that allows tunnel movement on two axes: vertical (elevating/lowering) and horizontal (extension/retraction). It is a technical solution, designed to enable aircraft to park very precisely within an allocated stand. Options Steel: The tunnel walls are made out of hot-dip galvanized sheets. Panels are welded via an automated spot system to guarantee high precision components, which assure longer lifetime, less repair and maintenance and reduced life-cycle costs. Crystal: The tunnel walls are fully glazed. The characteristics of the glass depend on customer’s requirements, with a variety of options as to color, lighting and thermal and acoustic qualities. The electro-hydraulic elevation system provides extremely smooth adjustment operation while also reducing operating costs to a minimum.
