Article Abstract:

They came up with a system called GEC/GES, which is comprised of two main parts. These include the operational Ground Equipment Controls that controls and monitors the ground equipment, and the technical/maintenance Ground Equipment Supervising that controls and monitors all technical alarms.

Loading up new orders

Article Abstract:

Denmark's Caljan Ground Support has created the STBV 10/30, a new telescopic conveyor belt loader. The self-powered electric loader has a telescopic boom that can be extended up to 1.8 m in front of the vehicle and a monocoque design based on sheet steel. The vehicle has a safety interlock that prevents it from being driven backwards unless the boom has been fully retracted. Another feature is the rotation of the rear wheels.
