Self-Propelled Passenger Stairs
Elevate Passenger Experience
Updates to Mallaghan's range of boarding equipment incorporate
industry standards, advanced technology and VIP options.
BY REBECCA KANABLE
P
assengers might not think
about how they will board an
aircraft, and they shouldn't
have to. But all airlines and ground
handlers operating without access
to boarding bridges need to utilize
stairs, whether they are towable or
self-propelled.
Mallaghan's self-propelled passenger
stairs are designed to offer travelers
a safe, stable and reliable aircraft
boarding and off-boarding experience.
" Self-propelled stairs are largely
consistent across the industry but
what Mallaghan excels in is their
technological offerings, product
quality and unparalleled level of service, "
says Joe Griffith, Mallaghan's
chief commercial officer.
Mallaghan's range of self-propelled
stairs complement its range
of towable passenger stairs. According
to Griffith, Mallaghan expanded
its stair range from towable to
self-propelled in 1998.
This shift to self-propelled stairs
allowed for additional options and
features to expand substantially,

advancements - like
electrification - and comply with
regulatory requirements.
Mallaghan's safety gate system
complies with the EN 12312-12 specification
and the self-propelled stairs
include a controlled approach system
that complies with Chapter 913 of
the International Air Transport Association's
(IATA) Airport Handling
Manual (AHM). Beyond these examples,
the self-propelled passenger
stairs are compliant with all relevant
IATA, SAE and EN standards.
Examples of new technologies
include safety gates, a controlled
approach system and LED stair lighting,
which comes standard and operates
with sensors and timers.
Options and accessories for the
self-propelled stairs vary. These may
include an enclosed driver cab with
heating and cooling, a fully covered
stairway, internal combustion engine
or electric powertrain, as well as VIP
options like carpeted steps, stairwell
