The Apron Drive Crystal bridge is the cutting-edge design for passengerboarding bridges. Its free movement in three axes: telescope, elevation androtation, allows the maximum flexibility in aircraft docking manoeuvres whiletaking up the minimum amount of apron space.
ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB) aremanufactured in the most modern production plants which are equippedfor optimum material flow and which have been specially and exclusivelydeveloped for building PBBs.
The overall concept includes the use of high quality materials, a very highstandard of finishing and a corrosion protection system which has beenspecially developed for high reliability and an above average service life. Theresult: a Passenger Boarding System, which sets new standards.
The ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems Apron Drive Crystal PBB consists of the following main components:
The Crystal Apron Drive PBB (ADC) tunnel walls are fully glazed. The characteristics of the glass depend on customer requirements, with a variety of options as to color, lighting and thermal and acoustic qualities.
The hydraulic elevation system provides extremely smooth adjustment operation while also reducing operating costs to a minimum.
Automatic systems, such as Point & Go and pre-positioning, help to automate bridge handling, hence reducing the possibility of human error.
The PBB is available in two- or three-tunnel versions.
ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems Passenger Boarding Bridges are designed and manufactured according to:
