New Multifunctional MLGT by HYDRO

June 30, 2016
HYDRO Systems KG has released the MLGTMULTI-1, an innovative new main landing gear trolley. The MLGTMULTI-1 uses HYDRO’s “Intelligent Multi-Purpose Platform” design, which is a one-platform system that can be configured using application specific change frame-kits to service different aircraft. Currently available are frame-kits for the narrow body aircraft families of Airbus  A320 and Boeing B737 NG, however HYDRO plans to expand their MLGTMULTI-1 line in the near future to include more aircraft. What differentiates this trolley from OEM-tools is that the levitating landing gear load is fully secured, and enables 3-axis positioning through spindle adjustment and electrically driven lifting and lowering motion. These features reduce the physical stress of the operators, as well lowers the operating time for main landing gear change. The total cost of ownership of the MLGTMULTI-1 trolley is estimated at 40 percent less than similar OEM-tools on the market, due to the modular one-platform plus application frame kit design. The MLGTMULTI-1 will soon be fully certified by Lufthansa Technik AG in accordance with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations.
