SKYTECH Fuel Hydrant Dispenser is a specialized machine/vehicle that connects itself with the underground supply line on one end and the airplane on the other.
Hydrant dispensers are able of efficiently dispensing aviation fuel from an underground hydrant system into a jet aircraft by aviation refuelling personnel via the underwing nozzles. A typical dispenser has an elevating scissor lift platform with a reach of 4 meters to accommodate all aircraft types, two underwing platform-deck hoses supported by a hydraulic boom. Our dispensers can achieve high flow rates of up to 4000L/min.
The hydrant dispenser (or cart) is traditionally a self-propelled vehicle which is driven on to the aircraft parking apron (or ramp) area and connected by hoses to the fuel hydrant at a hydrant pit valve in the ground and to the aircraft fuel intake coupling. The dispenser contains pressure control, filtration and metering equipment as well as an elevating platform to allow the operator to reach the under-wing couplings (for large aircraft).
