by Charlatte Manutention, a renowned aviation industry manufacturer and
supplier of quality Ground Support Equipment in France, are fitted with modern
technology with zero carbon monoxide emission, it uses 80 volts rechargeable
batteries with low maintenance cost which has the potential to save SAHCO a lot
of money that could have been spent on diesel, petrol, fuel filters, Engine oil
etc.
