Following enquiries from the West Africa mining and emerging oil and gas markets Air Ghana recently acquired a new Trepel CHAMP 350 which now facilitates its ability to handle single consignments of upto 35 metric tonnes, a substantial increase over the local handlers 13 tonne maximum.



The continuous increase in weight of oversized cargo has been making more demands on ground support equipment. Trepel has addressed this challenge with its newly developed 35 ton capacity main deck loader. Not only does the CHAMP 350 boast 35 tons lifting capacity on the main platform, this also applies to the front platform.
New technical features such as hydraulic adapters, twin wheels, telescopic driver's stand and a new lifting system on the front platform make the CHAMP 350 the most advanced loader of its kind. Cutting edge statics calculation methods, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the use of newest components from our sub-suppliers such as common rail diesel engine technology make this unit a most innovative loader.
