Eau potable toilette équipements aéronautique

To ensure good hygiene on board the aircraft, it is important to supply the aircraft with drinking water and to empty the toilets. Special GSE equipment makes this possible, and should be available at all airports. These vehicles are equipped with the functionalities needed to fulfill their role.

Aeronautical maintenance equipment: drinking water vehicle

The vehicles responsible for supplying aircraft with drinking water are in fact trucks with a rather unusual shape. They come in a variety of shapes and models, with different capacities and features.

An airport drinking water truck must be chosen with care. In particular, you need to choose a truck with the right carrying capacity for your needs. The larger the aircraft that tend to frequent the airport, the greater the quantity of drinking water required.

This means you need a truck with enough capacity to refuel the aircraft in one go. In addition, drinking water refuelling vehicles have different engines (electric or thermal), can also be towable and are more or less loaded with options.

It’s up to you to choose the most suitable model, taking into account your budgetary constraints.

Aircraft hygiene equipment: Toilet servicing vehicle

Aircraft toilets need to be kept clean, and specific vehicles are used for this purpose. The lavatory emptier is as indispensable a hygiene vehicle as the drinking water truck. You need to have enough of them at your airport.

This equipment has different characteristics and capacities.

Depending on the wingspan of your aircraft and the capacity of your airport, you’ll need vehicles with defined performance levels. The toilet capacity you choose also depends on the performance you want to achieve at your airport, and your budget.

At SOVAM, we offer toilet chutes and drinking water trucks in a range of capacities. What’s particularly interesting about these vehicles is the front-mounted gondola, which ensures greater safety in the aircraft area. Our GSE equipment is of impeccable quality and robustness, and certified Made In France.
