The days of complex, long recovery operations may be finished for good as RESQTEC is changing the face of recovery with their new equipment range. How and why are they doing that? RESQTEC believes that airports and carriers want recovery equipment that can provide a return on investment. That when an incident occurs the equipment can save time and reduce risk with the least amount of equipment! The complete range of equipment introduced makes a operation significantly easier, quicker but also maximizes the use in regard to different aircraft and scenario’s. Interest is high in these recent developments, initiated when it became apparent that conventional system cannot lift new type of aircraft.
The R2S system (short for Rapid Recovery System) is a combination of a jack and pneumatic system. The high stability and compactness of the system has the ability to follow the lateral ARC movement of an aircraft, which enables continuous and controlled lifting. No more risk of instability or dedicated tooling. R2S can be used on all types of aircraft, including all the new NLA, something hard to achieve with conventional systems.
The product range is complete with everything from Multisling, Debogging kits, to temporary roads. The Multisling is unique as it can lift over 25 different aircraft (including the A380) requiring a client to only purchase one sling. The multisling is also available in a composite version, reducing the weight significantly, while increasing safety factors. A tremendous advantage in handling and transport. Another advantage in transport is that all equipment can be transported in LD3 bins.
For the A380 a system capable of lifting 165 tons is available, the R2S Maxx. Although capable of lifting the A380 it can also lift other large or medium size aircraft. One of the users of the complete range is the future operator of the A380, Qatar Airlines. Contact RESQTEC if you are interested in real life demonstration of the new equipment.
