EQUIPMENT
the FSX was designed to pick up dirt
and debris at a faster pace and features
a turbo charged auxiliary engine.
" You need to make sure that you
have a job to do when you're cleaning
the runways, but you also have to
make sure that you have to do that job,
and not interrupt the major operations
of the airport, which is airplanes
taking off and landing, " said Letts.
The FSX can be customized to
any airport's needs.
" Though we have standard offerings,
we manufacture our trucks to
the specifications of our customers, "
said Letts. " So, you don't have to
order it just in the standard configuration.
You can go ahead and make
specializations, to custom configure
the truck to your exact needs. " For
example, Letts said one of the most
popular options is instead of having
two side brooms, Elgin can replace
one of the side brooms, or both, with
a large nozzle that is used to blow
debris off the runway. " We have our
side brooms pushing debris off of the
runway, and then, our pickup head
can go ahead and pick up any debris
that's still left, " said Letts. " Those
blast nozzles come in handy when
you're doing things that are close to
the lights that guide the planes into
the runway. "
