Clearing process
The MB2 is the most versitile chassis available , with options for plowing, deicing, and when paired with a tow broom combines three steps into one single operation and brings your runway quickly back to blacktop. Whereas the snow plow clears the majority of the snow to the side, the brush clears the remaining snow and slush while the air blower unit generates a powerful air flow to remove any remaining moisture.
Snow plow
Clean and aggressive clearance is achieved with the MB P5000 Series airport snow plows These are designed for fast snow clearance at airports and offer outstanding performance with optional straight or flared configurations.
Sweeping unit
When paired with the optional CRDL or TTB tow broom, the hydraulically-driven brush is mounted to a supporting frame and suspended via a parallelogram lifting system, so that it rests on the surface regardless of vehicle movement and uneven ground. The brush’s automatic and stepless sweeping pattern adjustment is carried out hydraulically and determined by the height adjustment of twin castors. During operation, the brush speed is adjusted automatically to suit the driving speed and shown on the control panel’s display. A long brush service life is possible – thanks to auto-pattern brush adjustment system.
Optional snow shed hood and vibrator to remove accumulated snow off the broom available.
Blower unit
The blower unit of the optional CRDL or TTB tow broom is located directly behind the sweeping unit. The blower removes any remaining water and slush from the clearing area at air speeds up to 400 mph, ensuring optimum friction values and better braking action on runways. The blower is driven hydraulically by the auxiliary engine via a variable displacement pump.
Drive
The MB2 is driven by a 496hp electronic turbocharged T4F EPA emission certified diesel engine.
Motion control
State-of-the-art control technology is an important step in the safe and efficient clearing of airport operation areas. Logical and intuitive menu navigation and automatically controlled processes help to support drivers by ensuring that concentration remains focused on the clearing operation. The display indicates the operating hours engine speed, brush revolution speed and blower performance. The display also provides a comprehensive diagnostics.
Service concept
Preventive maintenance is made simple with accessible filters and fluid drains. Additionally, the optional auto-lube keep your pivot points greased and ready for the next snow event.
