The Time-Tested Standard for Fueling and Defueling Aircraft

JacRiser platforms that refuel commercial aircraft require top performance and reliability to meet the demands of unrelenting schedules. A key component is the hose that connects the moving platform to an aircraft fueling vehicle. Aviation ground fuel handlers need a durable hose that is easy to bend, install, and handle through tens of thousands of cycles.
