Aviation refueller truck

Refueller

Mobile Jet A-1 refuelling units for airports and airbases

A refueller carries its own fuel to the aircraft. Tank, pump, filtration, meter and hose are built onto one vehicle, so it serves any parking stand without a hydrant system. We build each unit to the airport’s fuel standards and the operator’s choice of chassis.
