SPT-154 self-propelled ladder

Enhance Your Soviet Republic Airport with the SPT-154 Self-Propelled Ladder

Bring a touch of authentic retro aviation charm to your Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic airports with the SPT-154 Self-Propelled Ladder mod. Developed in the mid-1960s at the Kharkov Aviation Plant, this iconic piece of airport equipment was designed to service the needs of the popular Tu-154 passenger airliner. Now, you can place this historical asset directly onto your modded maps to add depth and realism to your burgeoning transport hubs.

A Legacy of Design

The SPT-154 builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, the SPT-104, a model originally created for the Tu-104 aircraft. While visually similar, the SPT-154 features a key design improvement: folding side doors on its upper platform. This adaptation was necessary to accommodate the outward-opening doors of the Tu-154, a departure from the inward-opening doors of earlier models.

Mounted on a robust self-propelled chassis, the SPT-154 is powered by a 2.7 kW electric motor running on a 35-volt alkaline iron-nickel battery. The driver’s station is integrated into the front of the chassis, providing control over the ladder’s mechanical components, including hydraulic jacks for stability during passenger boarding and disembarking. The ladder itself offers an adjustable height range of 2.0 to 4.1 meters, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of aircraft.

Key Features of the SPT-154 Mod:

• Authentic 1960s Soviet-era airport equipment.
• Designed for servicing passenger aircraft like the Tu-154.
• Self-propelled chassis with electric drive and hydraulic stabilization.
• Adjustable ladder height for versatile aircraft compatibility.
