Product overviewThe CHEERSMETAL CB-80E-2 aircraft de-icing vehicle is a next-generation de-icing/anti-icing ground support unit designed for civil airports and MROs. It integrates an intelligent control system and high-efficiency instantaneous heating to rapidly bring dedicated fluids to operating temperature, then delivers them via a high-pressure spray system with controlled pressure and coverage. The enclosed operator basket and long-reach telescopic boom enable safe access to wings, fuselage and tail for targeted or full-aircraft de-icing and anti-icing pretreatment.
Main features- Intelligent control with precise temperature and pressure regulation for consistent fluid delivery.
- Instantaneous heating system: 1100 kW heater reaching max fluid outlet temperature up to 85°C.
- High-capacity tanks: 7500 L de-icing fluid and 1510 L anti-icing fluid for extended operations.
- Long-reach hydraulic boom with ±185° slewing and max reach allowing up to 30 m spray range.
- Enclosed operator basket rated 160 kg with 0.5 m/s lifting speed for protected working environment.
- Allison 3000P automatic transmission and a 258 kW chassis engine meeting China VI emissions.

FAQ- Q1: What is an aircraft de-icing vehicle? A: A ground support vehicle equipped with a hydraulic telescopic boom and operator basket to spray de-icing/anti-icing fluids and remove ice, snow and frost from aircraft surfaces.
- Q2: What fluids can this vehicle use? A: Supports Type I, Type II and Type IV de-icing/anti-icing fluids; system heats fluids to required temperature for efficient removal.
- Q3: Which aircraft types is it compatible with? A: Serves narrow-body aircraft (e.g., B737, A320) and most wide-body types; excluding Airbus A380 due to platform limitations.
- Q4: What are the key safety features? A: Boom overload protection, emergency stop, anti-collision sensors, operator interlocks and fluid leakage monitoring.
- Q5: What is the operating temperature range? A: Designed for cold-climate airport operations; the heating system maintains stable fluid output temperature for effective de-icing.
