Turkish Technic, a leading aircraft maintenance and repair service provider, has commissioned 26 new Haulotte lifting equipment for its new service centre in the recently inaugurated Istanbul Grand Airport, the world’s largest airport.

Acarlar Makine, Haulotte distributor in Turkey, has been supplying Turkish Technic with innovative Haulotte lifting equipment for 10 years.

Turkish Technic recently received the last Star 6 Picking unit to complete its main fleet, which now consists of more than 70 Haulotte machines.

“The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. For this reason, high-performance machines are required to finish the work on time by providing the highest safety levels for the engineers and operators,” says Serkan Acar, general manager of Acarlar Makine.

He says a wide range of machines were chosen, adding the new order included various products, such as scissor lifts, articulating booms and electric vertical masts.

The HA26 RTJ PRO and HA41 RTJ PRO articulating booms will be used to maintain the high ceilings in the hangars.

Acar says these versatile machines have been designed to meet the expectations of operators in terms of performance and ensure cost-effective investment for the end-user.

“Both booms are equipped with the Activ’Lighting system – lighting points ideally placed around the machine to ensure the safety of the driver during loading and unloading operations – and the Activ’Shield bar to prevent crushing risks and protect the operator,” he adds.

Compact 12 electric scissor lifts and Star 6 Picking vertical masts were also delivered for the aircraft maintenance.

Meanwhile, Acarlar Makine also supplied more than 300 units of the full range of Haulotte aerial work platforms for the construction of the Istanbul Airport .

The new airport – which was inaugurated last October – will have the capacity to host 200 million travellers annually, once fully completed.  It is the third international airport to be built in Istanbul after Istanbul Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.

The full range of Haulotte products played a role on the mega project, starting with the company’s electric scissor lifts with an 8-m working height to the biggest diesel boom lift with 43 m working height.
