Doll Airport Equipment, a leading provider of systems for loading and cleaning aircraft, as well as for medical purposes at airports, has begun series production of its half-cut highloaders. With this step, the company is increasing its production capacity and intends to shorten delivery times for these special vehicles. The highloaders, which are used for loading aircraft, will not only be available more quickly, but will also offer increased safety and improved operator comfort. The switch to series production includes a standardized and documented process. Renato Ramella, Managing Director at Doll Airport Equipment, emphasized that this industrial approach enables shorter lead times and ensures consistently high quality with faster delivery, even for large orders. In the past, the conversion of driver cabins was carried out by external service providers as a handcrafted individual work. Now, Doll controls the entire production process, from the conversion of the driver cabin and the manufacture of the lifting system to final assembly, according to clearly defined and precisely timed processes. The new Doll half-cut highloader is based on an Iveco Eurocargo chassis, with the passenger side removed to allow for a lower lifting structure and a lower transfer bridge. This design allows for the handling of smaller aircraft with a low transfer height and gives the driver a clear view of the aircraft door during docking. The safety and stability of the halved cabins were proven in extensive ECE crash tests before series production began. The vehicle also meets all requirements of the EU-wide General Safety Regulation GSR II. To further increase safety, the vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art assistance systems, including a mirror replacement camera system on the missing passenger side, which provides the driver with three views of the right-hand side of the vehicle.
