The most effective open basket aircraft deicer —
The Elephant® Gamma
The unique design and excellent quality of the Elephant® Gamma provides high flexibility and cost efficient operation over the years.
The Elephant® Gamma, mounted on a standard truck chassis, with a built-in hydrostatic drive for extremely smooth manoeuvre around the aircraft, offers a vast array of options to make it the most effective open basket deicer.

The core concept of the Elephant® Gamma is its outstanding fast manoeuvrability to make it a highly efficient deicer and an excellent work platform for maintenance tasks and aircraft washing.
The unique boom system ensures high mobility, fast operation, smooth and proportional movements as well as great versatility. The turn point is located at the outer end of the main boom. Due to the highly developed suspension boom, the basket is kept in front of the vehicle at all heights. During operations the major weight of the boom system remains on the centerline of the truck giving the Elephant® Gamma an unsurpassed stability.
