How do Tronair ground air conditioning units connect to an aircraft?

Most Tronair units connect through standard aircraft door or window adapters, allowing conditioned air to enter the cabin directly. The connection process is simple and secure, minimizing setup time between operations.

Can Tronair air conditioning units be customized for specific operational needs?

Tronair offers multiple voltage, phase, and power configurations to fit different facility requirements. Custom hose lengths, power cords, and adapters can also be arranged to support unique hangar or ramp setups.

How portable are Tronair ground air conditioning units?

Each unit is mounted on a sturdy, wheeled frame for easy transport across hangar floors or airport ramps. Compact footprints and balanced designs make them simple to move and position near different aircraft types.
