Sidewinder 2
Airport Ground Power Cable Carrier System

Product Information

The second generation of this unique ground power transfer system, incorporates improvements learnt from more than 150 installations at some of the worlds busiest airports.

The costs to airports and airlines in replacing GPU cables and plugs caused through abrasion damage and bad handling has increased significantly over recent years as aircraft sensitivity demands the use of very expensive balanced multicore twisted cables.

Sidewinder 2 eliminates cable damage while deploying power to the aircraft incredibly fast – in LESS than 15 seconds. Saving minutes in APU fuel burn, and with equal reductions in CO2 emissions, the savings, when multiplied annually, are huge.

The SAS Sidewinder 2 system gives airports a fast, simple and reliable power transfer system that protects plugs and cables, is easily serviced from the ground and is backed by SAS’s unique five-year warranty*.

Compared with other types of ground power transfer systems, Sidewinder extends cable life and has a very low through life cost. It is easy to maintain, easy to install and makes a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.

Airlines and airports are now installing Sidewinder as part of their comprehensive strategy to reduce their CO2 emissions.
