Ground Handling Equipment - Passenger Stairs - Towable Passenger Stairs

This passenger stair is specifically designed for B737 aircraft with a fixed stairway and top-platform mounted on a welded steel chassis frame. The step treads and top platform walking area are surfaced with grip faced aluminium tread plate to provide a smart and stylish appearance and passenger security in all weathers.
Light weight yet robust construction saves time and effort when manually manoeuvring the steps, to or from the aircraft.
Sliding top platform side panels with hand operated spring lock bolts are fitted to both sides of the top platform to facilitate opening the aircraft doors with the steps fully interfaced to the aircraft.

A rubber buffeted pivoting section is fitted to the leading edge of the top platform to interface with fuselage contours. The standard unit has tubular / sheet steel side-panels with extrusion trimmed handrails fitted to both sides of the stairway. The sliding top platform panels are fully sheeted with D-Rubber buffers to the leading edge.
The TPS 26 offers a stylish low cost option for single aircraft fleet B737 operations.
As standard the chassis frame and tow bar are galvanised to ISO1461. All other sections are painted in a single corporate colour top-coat. High visibility markings are applied to front/rear chassis corners and sides of tow-bar.
