Specialists in designing and manufacturing airport servicing equipment, USIMAT SERMEES mainly offer equipment that can be towed. Apart from tow bars, the company designs and manufactures aircraft servicing equipment, trolleys for airport handling and special equipment. USIMAT SERMEES will be demonstrating its innovations at the France pavilion of the salonAirport Show in Dubai from 25 to 27 April 2010.
With a concern for reducing CO2 emissions at airports and assert its commitment to responsible and sustainable development, USIMAT SERMEES has equipped its entire range of servicing, toilet waste disposal and drinking water trolleys with electric engines. Fitted with batteries and chargers, they can handle aircraft independently as efficiently as trolleys with combustion engines, while respecting the environment. Moreover, the company’s constant research for innovation has resulted in the development of toilet waste disposal and drinking water trolleys for level-3 aircraft. Particularly well-suited to handling regional and business aircraft, they are equipped with stainless steel tanks, and their compactness (2.30m x 1m x 0.5m) allows aircraft to be drained by gravity from their low drain outlet and they can get as close as possible.
USIMAT SERMEES has made a speciality of developing and proposing innovative concepts for airports, in the choice of materials, integrated functions, multi-head systems, etc. For example, it has just completed a flying tow bar for the A380. Completing the conventional range, its special feature is that it is ultra-light and can be transported for use on emergency landings at unscheduled airfields. It completes a range of products designed for each type of aircraft, airport configuration and specific user operating conditions.
The products made by USIMAT SERMEES are designed to guarantee maximum availability on site. They combine key qualities such as lightness, manageability, modularity, reliability and maintainability. More particularly regarding the tow bars, the high-strength aluminium alloys they are made of significantly reduce their weight and thus make them easier and safer to handle. Their design is oriented to facilitate maintenance tasks and grant rapid access to the affected part by limiting the number of parts to be changed.
Apart from an extensive range of standard products, the company can supply any adapted part to meet clients’ special needs. USIMAT SERMEES develops its concepts on the strength of its widely-acknowledged experience and 50 years’ existence, and its thorough knowledge of the conditions of use in airport zones. A partner of a number of ground handling operators (airlines, airports and aircraft handling contractors), USIMAT SERMEES is present worldwide.
