UK representative for Zodiac Arresting Systems
Converts kinetic energy to heat through fluid turbulence.
Constant run-out, velocity-sensitive system which adjusts automatically.
Installation above or below ground level.
Few moving parts to wear out keeps maintenance and servicing to a minimum.
34B/44B Water Twister
High reliability under all operational conditions.
Installation above or below ground level, in semi-pits, or trailer-mounted for mobility.
Easily transported to remote locations by air, land or sea.
Quick installation using earth anchors and/or concrete anchoring plates.
Mechanical hydraulic control circuit provides pre-programmed brake pressures.
BAK-12/500S Friction Brake
Directly and continuously measures aircraft location and velocity.
Automatic braking adjustment for variable run-out conditions.
Ideal for joint aircraft exercises, composite wing missions and NATO operations.
Available as a new system configuration or as a retrofit.
SMARTARREST® electronic/hydraulic Computer Controlled Arresting System
ICAO compliant arresting system with electronically controlled friction brake energy absorbers.
Compact design and low height allows the entire unit to be placed adjacent to the runway edge.
Can withstand aircraft rollovers without damage to the energy absorber or the aircraft.
In-built runway edge sheaves eliminate the need for separate foundations and fairlead tape tubes.
Low Profile Arresting Gear (LPAG®)
