iRoad's series of airport runway friction testers has completed full certification, offering airports a locally developed alternative to imported equipment.

Background

Runway friction testing is essential for safe aircraft take-off and landing. For many years, this equipment market in China relied mainly on imported brands.

Standards and type testing

The three models comply with civil aviation standards including AC-137-CA, AHM910 and AHM913. They passed hundreds of type tests at the China National Construction Machinery Quality Supervision & Inspection Center, including:- High and low temperature durability- High temperature and humidity resistance- Rain sealing- High-speed driving- Repeated lifting and long-distance towing

In accuracy, repeatability and stability, the equipment is comparable with imported products.

Three models for different airports

- Fuel vehicle-mounted type: long endurance for large airports and long runways- Electric vehicle-mounted type: zero emissions and low noise for hub airports with strict environmental requirements- Towed type: easy transfer and storage for regional airports, general aviation airports and heliports
