Details
The Universal Hydraulic Servicing Trolley (HST 300U) is an advanced ground support system designed for servicing the hydraulic systems of military aircraft, fighter jets, transport planes, and helicopters. This state-of-the-art hydraulic trolley provides a continuous, filtered, high-pressure hydraulic oil supply, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of aircraft hydraulic components during maintenance and testing. Engineered for versatility and reliability, the HST 300U is capable of servicing two independent aircraft systems simultaneously. It features a pressurized reservoir, precise pressure and flow control, vacuum-based de-aeration, and a fully integrated compressed air system, making it an essential tool for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations. Key Features & Capabilities 1. Main Hydraulic System The HST 300U delivers a continuous, high-pressure hydraulic oil supply to two independent aircraft systems. The flow rate is 100 liters per minute (LPM) per system, and the operating pressure is 300 Bar. The system is compatible with OM-15, DTD-585, and MIL-H-5606 mineral-based hydraulic oils. The trolley is equipped with a precise flow and pressure control system, adjustable via a panel-mounted relief valve and an aircraft-specific selector switch. It also includes a vacuum pump system that removes trapped air and moisture from the hydraulic circuit, ensuring fluid purity and system longevity. 2. Static Pressure (Hand Pump) System The hand pump system enables manual filling of aircraft hydraulic reservoirs, generating up to 350 Bar pressure per stroke. This ensures safe and controlled fluid transfer. 3. Engine-Driven Vacuum System The vacuum system plays a crucial role in de-aerating the hydraulic circuit and maintaining fluid cleanliness. It operates at a vacuum level of 200mBar (absolute), ensuring that moisture and air bubbles are effectively removed from the hydraulic system. A solenoid valve mechanism allows for automatic activation and venting. 4. Engine-Driven Compressed Air System The HST 300U includes an integrated compressed air system, capable of delivering air at a maximum pressure of 7 Bar. The buffer chamber design ensures controlled air supply, making it suitable for pressurizing aircraft hydraulic reservoirs. 5. Hydraulic Reservoir & Filtration The hydraulic system is equipped with a twin-chamber stainless steel (SS304L) reservoir, with a total capacity of 140 liters (70L + 70L). It features a 3-micron (μ) high-pressure filtration system, ensuring clean, contaminant-free hydraulic fluid. Additionally, the system allows for independent oil sampling, providing real-time monitoring of fluid conditions. 6. Power & Mobility The HST 300U is powered by a Greaves TBD3V6 diesel engine, ensuring reliable and continuous operation. It uses two 12V, 120Ah lead-acid batteries, providing sufficient power for all electrical components. For mobility, the trolley features an Ackerman steering mechanism, allowing smooth maneuvering. It is equipped with four wheels (two front and two rear), supported by a leaf spring suspension system for stability on rough terrain. The maximum towing speed is 10 km/h, making it easy to move within maintenance facilities. 7. Hose & Connection System The hydraulic servicing trolley is equipped with a comprehensive set of hoses: • Two pressure hoses (1-1/4") – 20 meters each • Two return hoses (1-1/4") – 20 meters each • One additional pressure hose (1/4") – 20 meters A turbine-type digital flow meter provides real-time monitoring of hydraulic flow rates.
