ShinMaywa Industries has started the sale of the ‘Gutterless’ option for its ‘Barrier-Free’ type aircraft boarding bridge on October 1.
A cover that moves according to the tunnel’s expansion and contraction now covers the tunnel gutter for rainwater drainage and the tunnel rail surface, which is the retractable mechanism area. This prevents the lubricant applied to the tunnel rail surface from sticking to the passage, thereby maintaining a hygienic and comfortable environment, avoiding pedestrian missteps, and preventing the derailment of wheelchairs and carrycases.
The company introduced a ‘Full Flat Type’ boarding bridge in 2018, with the transition plate of the tunnel expansion section having a zero gradient specification, and the ‘Barrier-Free Type’ was launched into the market in August 2024. The sales target for the ‘Gutterless’ option is 300 units by the fiscal year 2030.
