Passenger Boarding Stairs
Towable and powered boarding stairs for safe passenger access.
TBD manufactures both towable and powered passenger boarding stairs. Towable stairs use telescopic and parallelogram construction for precision height adjustment while firmly ground-anchored, built from aluminium and stainless-steel architecture with heavy-duty anti-slip treads, robust awnings and buffering to protect the aircraft on docking. Powered boarding stairs offer diesel or electric drive with features such as a hydraulic drive system, wide top platform, top-platform control, self-levelling stabilisers, colour display and anti-collision approach.
