Medium Electric Passenger Stairs

The TK-EKT44 is a fully electric, self-propelled passenger boarding stair designed for aircraft door heights from 1,950 to 4,850 mm across regional and narrow-body aircraft fleets.

Its 1,500 mm clear stairway and spacious 3,500 × 2,200 mm platform support smooth and efficient passenger boarding. A purpose-built low-center-of-gravity chassis, four hydraulic stabilizers and the safe-docking system ensure stable operation, precise final approach and automatic braking near the aircraft. An optional canopy is available for enhanced passenger protection in adverse weather.

Features

Extended Boarding Height Range
The 1,950–4,850 mm working range supports passenger boarding across regional and narrow-body aircraft fleets.

Full-Electric Drive System
A 60 kW permanent-magnet motor and 66.84 kWh LFP battery deliver efficient, low-emission operation with extended working endurance.

Safe Aircraft Docking
Distance sensing, controlled low-speed approach, automatic braking and anti-collision protection support safe and accurate aircraft docking.

Safety Interlocks
Travel, charging, stabilizer deployment, and stair operations are electronically interlocked to prevent unsafe vehicle movement.

Structural Stability
A purpose-built low-center-of-gravity chassis, wide-track axles, four hydraulic stabilizers and dual locking support stable elevated operation.

Passenger Safety & Flow
A 1,500 mm clear stairway, anti-slip aluminum treads, illuminated handrails and a large platform support safe, efficient boarding.

Operator Control & Monitoring
CAN-bus controls, dual display screens, and integrated warning systems provide intuitive operation and simplified equipment monitoring.

Emergency Operation
Emergency electric and manual pumps, manual retraction controls and towing points allow rapid aircraft clearance following a system failure.
