Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) Plc has deployed a modern Ground Support Equipment (GSE) to boost its operations in Port Harcourt station.
Mrs Vanessa Uansohia, General Manager, Corporate Communications of SAHCO, made this known on Thursday in Lagos.
Uansohia said that the equipment, a High loader Air Marrel (LAM 35), was 35 tonnes capacity self-propelled heavy-duty main deck loader with capacity to load and offload containers up to 40 tonnes.
He said the equipment offers the most advanced features required by the end user, including a clear deck for the loading and offloading of oversised loads.
“The equipment is also able to operate under severe weather and suitable for use of lower deck to handle pallets.
“The GSE can also be used by wide body aircrafts like A380, B777 and the likes.
“The GSE was built by Air Marrel, a major Ground Support manufacturer and exporter of cargo loaders and transporter based in France.
“The equipment modeled according to specifications of European airlines who are specialised in cargo operations, is one of the most technologically advanced in today’s market,” she said.
Uansohia said that SAHCO was the most widely spread out ground handling company in Nigeria with presence in all commercially operated airports, hence the need to ensure quality deliveries across its stations.
She added that with the LAM 35, loading and offloading could be done in record time efficiently, a feat the company was known for.
According to her, this new GSE whose capacity is the only one in the country is a further assurance to clients on safe, speedy and efficient ground handling services.
Uansohia said the achievement was a testament that SAHCO would continue to go to any length to maintain and exceed client expectations.
