<p>An aircraft refuelling cart includes a chassis (10) having ground-engaging wheels (11, 12) and a refuelling platform (20) upon which an aircraft refuelling operator can stand. The platform (20) is mounted to the chassis (10) by a scissor-action mechanism (22) which is typically activated by hydraulic means. An extendable hydrant hose (14) has a coupler (15) for connection to an airport fuel hydrant. A fuel conveying boom (24) conveys fuel from the hydrant hose to one or more fuel hoses (26) at the platform (20). The fuel hoses (26) convey fuel to the aircraft. The fuel cart can remain on the apron at a particular aircraft bay and is readily movable from one side of the aircraft to the other and is capable of servicing the full range of aircraft which may use the bay at which it is stationed. This is achieved by way of the variable height adjustability of the platform (20).</p> |
