Uncompromising safety. Outstanding convenience.

The ground handling procedures for an aircraft need to be completed very quickly. There are lots of vehicles, machines and people working at the same time to load and unload the aircraft. The time pressure puts a lot of strain on everyone involved, increasing the risk of operating errors, damage or even accidents. DOLL®'s top priority has always been to ensure maximum safety and convenience for your operators, passengers, cargo and aircraft.

Our safety features and operating assistance systems are unparalleled – and of course they comply with all international guidelines, such as EN, IATA, ANSI and SAE.

Features + advantages

  • High-quality sensors and CAN bus system
  • No uncontrolled lowering movements: lift system with three check valves
  • The box can be raised up to the loading ramp height without supports
  • Side door is automatically locked in raised position
  • An audible signal sounds in the driver's cab and box when the supports are lowered
  • Safety shoe for monitoring the height level between the platform and the aircraft
  • Sensors around the platform to detect the aircraft fuselage
  • Platform barrier can be safely unlocked from a distance of 120 mm
  • In the event of a failure, the complete hydraulic system can be operated manually via hand pump or electric emergency pump

Intelligent platform

In order to protect your operators and the aircraft fuselage, we use a sensitive sensor measurement system that complies with all current standards and regulations.

Innovative control technology

Intuitive control panels and displays reduce operating errors and set new standards in terms of user-friendliness.

Precise vehicle positioning

It is crucial that the vehicle is positioned precisely beneath the aircraft door. The images captured by the platform camera in the driver's cab give your driver the perfect helping hand for this task.

Approaching the aircraft safely

When our vehicles are between 8 and 0.5 m away from the aircraft, they offer a safe slow-running mode. Within 0,5 meters distance to the aircraft the adjusted speed of the platform extension (snail speed) ensures a safe non touching docking to the aircraft door.

Double protection

When you're working close to an aircraft, any wrong moves can cause costly damage. That's why we rely on numerous preventative safety mechanisms. For example, the superstructure can only be raised when the support legs are extended and the doors are closed.

Everything in view: 360° camera

The images captured by the camera are transmitted in real time to a screen in the driver's cab. If required, the system can also be fitted with an integrated black box. This will provide you with key evidence in the event of any damage – and prevent any unlawful damage claims by your airlines.

Electronic assistance systems
