The task of cleaning the airfields and adjacent territories at the Krasnodar International Airport now will be solved with the help of a powerful and maneuverable Valtra tractor. The choice in favor of Finnish machine here was made after careful estimates of its technical characteristics. Positive feedback from the world’s largest airports also played a role.
Annually more than 3 million people use the services of Krasnodar airport. The airfield infrastructure serves 56 domestic and foreign destinations — up to 20 takeoff and landing operations per hour. Therefore, fast and timely care of the flying field is a priority. The main load on the equipment falls on the winter, when it is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of the airfield coverings from snow and ice. However, there is a lot of work for the ground services in the summer. Given the tight schedule of arrivals and departures, special vehicles must act as quickly and accurately.
— We have carefully studied the operation of Valtra at the International airport of Sochi, — the press service of Basel Aero reported. — We took into account the operating experience and positive feedback about the equipment at other airports in Russia. For example, the rates for this tractor were made by Moscow airports Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo, St. Petersburg Pulkovo, Tyumen Roshchino, as well as airports in Arkhangelsk, Kaluga, Omsk and Ufa. The analysis of the equipment market confirmed that the Finnish tractor is more suitable for our facilities.
— This machine has many advantages, — said Evgenii Pavlenko, head of sales of imported equipment of the company Bizon. — They are fast, with a small turning radius. They have a high ground clearance, can simultaneously work with the front and rear mounted devices in all directions. Tractors are reliable and able to solve problems in difficult weather conditions.
Valtra will work all year round at the international airport Krasnodar. In autumn and winter seasons, the tractor will perform cleaning of airfield coverings and lighting equipment from snow, processing of apron, taxiways and runways with deicing reagents. In spring and summer, with the help of new equipment, mowing of the grass stand on the ground elements of the airfield, as well as disking along the fence and the layout of the soil will be made.
Since 1951 the company Valtra has been manufacturing tractors. The plants are located in Finland and Brazil as well. One of the world leaders in the design and production of agricultural machinery. Included in the AGCO Corporation, which also produces popular machines under the brands Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Challenger.
