PRODUCT SAFETY

Safety is an important part of the HandiFueler's™ design

 

 

The HandiFueler™ Ground Support Service Cart is a great idea that is getting a lot of attention.

 
Safety First!: We have worked hard to make sure the HandiFueler™ Ground Support Service Cart is a safe, innovative idea. Users around the world (including military airfields and flightlines, airports, and aircraft manufacturers) have been using the HandiFueler™ safely since it's introduction. Refuel and Defuel aircraft ground support equipment quickly and safely. 
 
Some of the thoughtful safety features include (get ready, it’s a long list!):
 
20Low profile tank design makes overturning practically impossible, especially at the prescribed 15 MPH max tow speed
 

19Double-walled stainless steel tank to self-contain any possible leaks; easy

to access inspection port on tank bottom

 

18Open design of pump platform prevents dangerous buildup of fuel vapors

 

18Auto-recirculate valve protects pump overheating by preventing “dead-heading” when nozzle is not in operation

 

17Lockable top manway and fuel fill port prevents fuel contamination (No crewchiefs dumping used oil into your fuel supply)

 

16Top fill with z shaped internal tube; prevents static buildup from free-fall of fuel during cart filling operations

 

15All sealed LED lighting; in addition to low current draw, LED lamps run cool to allow safe operation around fuel vapors

 

14Carbon impregnated fuel hose; prevents static generation and buildup during fueleing/defueling

 

13Emergency kill “E-Stop” button allows complete and immediate shutdown of pump in an emergency situation

 

1210 pound “Purple K” fire extinguisher mounted for fast and easy access in an emergency situation

 

11Bonding clamp and cable to equalize static voltage potential between refueler and equipment under service; mitigates spark generation from moving fuel

 

10Aviation grade coalescing filter; removes particulates and water from fuel

 

10All electical components are UL/CE rated

 

9Oversized universal spill kit (PIG); respond to accidental spills from Handifueler, and the ability to respond to spills from other sources as a “first responder”

 

7Automatic shutoff fuel nozzle (not to be confused with auto-locking nozzle; this “unsafe” feature has been disabled)

 

6Fuel flow is about 12 GPM, very similar to the automotive gas station experience

 

5Sealed, leakproof Optima batteries provide long run time with full safety in a fueling environment

 

4Metal electrical box, grounded and sealed against vapors and weather

 

310 gallon air bottle with overpressure protection provides air to the Tire Service Station

 

2Aggressive non-skid material applied to side steps to prevent slipping

 

2New on 2010 models: PPE stowage location for convenient access to safety goggles, gloves, etc

 
 

Contact us! We look forward to proving that the HandiFueler Ground Support Service Cart is a Safe and Effective ground support refuel / defuel method to service AGE/GSE/AGSE in place on the flightline.

 

We guarantee you will wonder how you serviced GSE without it!
