Retractable Hook Cable System
Reliable, well proven and remotely controlled retractable hook cable system
Preventing damage during rollovers
Retractable Hook Cable Systems reduces the risk of damage to taxiing aircraft and minimizes runway surface wear compared to a pendant cable installed across the runway with support discs. The system keeps the pendant cable pre-tensioned in both raised and lowered position.
The ATECH BAK-14U system utilizes modern hydraulics for maximum reliability. Other important features include reliable position detection with durable magnetic switches, simple replacement of support blocks, individual health monitoring of each retract mechanism in order to minimize runway down time. Remote control by digital radio alternatively fiber optics with a user friendly ATC interface.
The ATECH retract system can be installed both as a new installation or as a backwards compatible upgrade, replacing an ageing pneumatic system, using existing BAK-14 cast-in boxes.
