ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems Steel Apron Drive 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 Steel Apron Drive PBB includes the following main components: CHARACTERISTICS The Steel Apron Drive PBB (AD) tunnel walls, which are a core piece of the product, are made 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. The hydraulic elevation system provides extremely smooth adjustment operation while also reducing operating costs to a minimum. Automatic systems, such as Point & Go and pre-positioning, help to automate PBB handling, hence reducing the possibility of human error. The PBB is available in two- or three-tunnel versions.
