A special constructed boom system elevates the operator's eye level to more than 15 m, and the nozzle to more than 23 m.
The Beta-15 movements are smooth and provide an extremely wide de-icing radius which makes it ideal for remote de-icing with running aircraft engines.
The Beta-15 is available for present and future challenges in modern aviation.

|
• Elephant® Beta-15 version facilitates the de-icing operation at ultra heights.
Max. eye level 15.5 m (51.0')
Max. nozzle height 23.5 m (77.1'). |

• The Elephant® Beta is excellent for remote de-icing. This is increasingly attractive as today’s modern airports demand time reduction between de/anti-icing and take-off to reduce the required hold-over time. This not only reduces glycol usage, but eases the glycol collection.
• The nozzle’s unique manoeuvrability allows backwards spraying towards the operator, enabling wing de-icing from the trailing edge of the wing without spraying towards flaps, rudders etc. Safety antennas are placed on the boom to avoid damage to aircraft.
