Express Ramp for all Regional Aircraft up to CRJ900
Regional Express Ramp
The Regional Express Ramp works much the same way as the Turboway boarding ramp. The express ramp is fully adjustable using a hand crank style lift mechanism and also features a pivoting bridge. The Regional Express Ramp serves the Q-400 as well as many other regional aircraft.
The Express Ramp offers some of the same advantages as jetbridge boarding: a gentle slope into the aircraft, a place where a number of people can stand safely, and a seamless dignified boarding process for passengers with mobility impairments, as well as those without. The Express Ramp is equipped with a manually operated “crank up” style lift for adjusting the height, rather than the hydraulically operated system found on the Turboway ramp.
