  • Aircraft Fueling

    From overwing refueling nozzles to aviation fuel transfer equipment, we are your first choice for safe and spillage free aircraft fueling. Our products can be used in commercial, offshore and military applications and are built to take the strains of rapid fuelling activities in the most demanding of applications.

  • De-icing

    When there are freezing conditions and precipitation, deicing an aircraft is critical. De-icing on the ground is usually done by spraying aircraft with a deicing fluid. This fluid must be used with a containment system to capture the used liquid so that it cannot seep into the ground and streams. Our products offer safe solutions for the storage and transfer of deicing fluids.

  • Fuel Storage

    It is important that contaminated product is not taken from the storage tank. We provide Floating Suction Units that are suspended just below the surface of the liquid and the inlet to the pump is held in the clean dense product regardless of the constantly changing liquid level. For tanks with floating roofs, large bore roof skimmers move with the roof to drain away unwanted liquid. Our DRY-BREAK couplers and adapters ensure spill-free transfer of product.

  • Helicopter Fueling

    We manufacture a range of helicopter refueling nozzles for both commercial and military operations which are designed to be lightweight, comfortable to operate and rugged which many optional features. In addition we manufacture a range of hose swivels suitable for use in helicopter refueling.

  • Refueler/Bowser Loading

    We supply many products that can be used in the loading of aircraft refuelers/bowsers. From tank truck systems and API couplers to DRY-BREAK couplers and loading arms, our aim is to deliver products that exactly fit the application.
