Chilton, Wisconsin is home to our MB Airport and Replacement Brushes businesses and serves as Aebi Schmidt North America’s corporate headquarters. Here, we produce top-quality equipment that helps airports stay open even during the toughest winter conditions. Let's take a closer look at how our Chilton facility is setting new standards in airport maintenance.

Este año, Aebi Schmidt Nederland celebra con orgullo su 75 aniversario. Este importante hito pone de relieve nuestro compromiso duradero de ofrecer soluciones inteligentes para municipios y proveedores de servicios centradas en la innovación, la sostenibilidad y las sólidas relaciones con clientes y socios. Para conmemorar esta ocasión especial, organizamos un evento memorable el 6 de junio de 2024 en nuestra sede local de Holten (Países Bajos).

El aeropuerto londinense de Luton (LLA), ha incorporado a su flota una quitanieves autopropulsada y un portaimplementos muy versátil. Estar bien preparados y listos para cualquier eventualidad, era la pieza que faltaba en el rompecabezas que ahora se completa para garantizar un mantenimiento eficaz y eficiente, en verano e invierno en el aeropuerto. A continuación, explicamos en detalle estos argumentos.

The small town of Running Springs sits in the California San Bernardino mountains. With a population of just over 5,000, the community is known as the gateway to larger mountain communities or Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead, and Arrowbear, with service-related businesses catering to the passing through tourists.

If the layout of an airport makes simple and unproductive moving of the equipment take up far too much valuable time, what can you do? For the international airport in Denver, Colorado, MB's engineering team developed a solution specifically tailored to the airport to overcome the challenge without having to completely reinvent the wheel.

El gobierno del Tirol utiliza esparcidores tanto en verano como en invierno. Por su parte, el proveedor de servicios estonio EKT Teed OÜ confía en un vehículo multiusos con un sistema intercambiable que puede utilizarse todo el año. ¿Serán pronto todas nuestras máquinas polivalentes y utilizables todo el año? Hablamos con Henning Schröder, Jefe de Tecnología del Grupo, y Gerhard Neudorfer, Jefe de Ventas para Europa.

London Luton Airport (LLA) has been able to cut its optimum runway clearance and de-icing time to less than 12 minutes thanks to an upgraded winter maintenance fleet. The super-quick time compares to one hour and 20 minutes in 2011, a time saving of over an hour, because of new equipment and refined methods for runway clearance and de-icing.

Berlin Airport was the first major airport to test whether and how our autonomous technology can be integrated into their specific operational concept. During the winter months, vehicles, equipment and software have been tested intensively and with great commitment. Conclusion: The future also works in Berlin!

The state of Tyrol is responsible for a total of 2,236 km of road network, with the state roads lying at 470 to over 2,000 metres above sea level. The state authorities have been utilising salt and brine for their winter services since 2017. To do this, they use a Schmidt Stratos Combi Soliq Flex, a combined machine that spreads or sprays with abrasive agents, dry salt or wet salt containing the required proportion of brine. They have recently started using ‘the spreader’ in summer as well.

Maintaining 1.000.000 m² in the city of Tartu, EKT Teed OÜ decided to add new equipment to its fleet last year. Looking back, the contractor is sure to have made the right choice in order to maintain the area 24/7, 365 days a year. And, it was not only the Street King’s features that impressed, but also the possibility of buying single source, service included.

Performing thorough maintenance work is essential in order to ensure operational readiness at all times. It might sound perfectly reasonable and simple, but doing this is becoming increasingly taxing. The more complex the fleet and the more modern the technology, the higher the demands on the staff. And what should you do when maintenance work is pending, but staff are busy with other tasks?

After a break of several years due to Corona, finally Aebi Schmidt Austria again invited to the Sweeping and Municipal Day at the Austrian headquarters in Inzing. Representatives of more than thirty municipalities and service providers accepted the invitation and were able to see for themselves the advantages of the machines and equipment in practical use. The Flexigo, listed with the BBG, was of particular interest - but not only!

At the Demo Days, Aebi Schmidt presented the latest innovations, developments and solutions in the area of airport, sweeping, municipal technology, winter maintenance and more - online and live during two days. Did you miss the presentations? No problem, you can review the recordings of the presentations whenever convenient for you.

As we have previously reported, we are currently working with the town of Burgdorf, Switzerland, to test the suitability of our eVT 450 prototypes for everyday use. Our claim for the vehicles when they eventually enter series production is that no compromises need to be made in their use or when it comes to attachments and mounted equipment on the electric model. Find out how it’s been going so far.

Dublin Airport has further expanded its winter maintenance fleet to be operationally ready to tackle the severest winter conditions as it expands airport operations with the forthcoming addition of its new North Runway.

Aebi Schmidt's product range has the ability to be customised to meet individual customer demands – as one major Belgian customer discovered thanks to 29 specially adapted Schmidt CSP ‘combi’ sprayers. The CSP range of compact sprayers is perfect for tackling snow and ice efficiently in an environmentally friendly manner using liquid de-icing agents and is particularly effective in inner-city areas, even at low speeds.

The fleet run by the Kriens public works office includes three generations of transporters from the Aebi VT 450 series. Most recently, it added a new Aebi VT 450 Vario Euro 6C to its fleet in 2018. The trio of transporters is put to use year-round – in applications involving everything from winter maintenance to green space maintenance.

Zermatt – the mountain community lies at an altitude of 1,600 metres, at the foot of the imposing Matterhorn, one of the most famous landmarks in Switzerland. Steep slopes, mountainous landscapes and lots of snow in winter make this town a paradise for skiers, hikers and day-trippers. Anyone who farms in this area needs a strong, robust transporter that they can rely on all year round.

Scientists have long predicted that climate change would increase the prevalence of extreme weather – today those forecasts are coming true. From heatwaves and blizzards to flooding and severe turbulence, extreme weather conditions are becoming more and more commonplace around the world. This trend not only spells bad news for global residents in general, but is having a hugely negative impact on airports and airlines.

INCHEON AIRPORT IN SOUTH KOREA IS GEARING UP FOR THE 2018 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES The “Land of the Morning Calm” is readying itself for the Games, which will be held from 9 to 25 February 2018. Given that passenger traffic spikes during events of this magnitude in particular, it’s an absolute must for any airport of good standing to have snow-free and ice-free runways and taxiways. To ensure absolute safety and punctuality at all times, IIAC (Incheon International Airport Corporation) is adding ten Schmidt TJS 630 jet sweepers to their winter service fleet.

New Vehicle for the Winter Service The Burglengenfeld municipal utility has ended its cooperation with a service provider - and increased its own vehicle fleet.

The salt depots of the Oldesloer Autobahnmeisterei are full, the gritting vehicles are ready and the employees are on call.

En el taller de montaje de Tiefenhäusern, no lejos de nuestra planta de St. Blasien (Alemania), nuestros especialistas trabajan con gran presión y precisión en dos sopladoras de nieve de alto rendimiento para la compañía ferroviaria estatal noruega Bane NOR. Cada una de estas máquinas pesa más de 80 toneladas y genera más de 2.000 caballos de potencia. Recientemente tuvimos el honor de dar la bienvenida al equipo noruego del proyecto y les acompañamos con nuestra cámara.

Al igual que Meyer, su socio distribuidor, JTI, Inc. celebra una larga historia. John's Trailer Company fue la precursora de la actual JTI, Inc. La empresa fue fundada en 1935, inicialmente en la construcción y venta de carros de heno, remolques, enganches y ejes. JTI está ahora en su cuarta generación de propiedad familiar, y sigue siendo un distribuidor de equipos de confianza, vendiendo máquinas quitanieves Meyer y esparcidores de sal durante las últimas dos décadas.

Last year, Dublin Airport transitioned away from diesel and began using HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) to reduce its carbon footprint and help meet its sustainability targets. Read more on how Schmidt’s summer and winter maintenance fleet can contribute to such plans.

For those who own Jeep Wranglers, the iconic and popular four-wheel-drive off-road SUVs, they’re familiar with rubber ducks. And for those who don’t…what’s up with the ducks?

En el mantenimiento invernal de carreteras, a menudo es necesario tratar zonas especialmente críticas, como puentes o tramos escarpados y en pendiente, con vehículos dotados con esparcidores o con sistemas fijos de pulverización de fúndetes líquidos. Este enfoque conlleva costes adicionales debido a los vehículos, rutas o equipos especiales. En Viena, sin embargo, se ha demostrado que hay otra manera. Queríamos saber cómo lo llevaban a cabo y hablamos con el ingeniero Dr. Peter Nutz, Jefe de Planificación y Mantenimiento Invernal del Departamento Municipal 48.

At a recent practical day in St. Blasien, contractors and users were given exclusive insights into the technology and production of our Schmidt Supra 4002/5002 autonomous driving snow clearing machine. In addition to visiting the production line and driving and operating the machine on the test site, the snow clearing professionals also used the event to exchange ideas among themselves.

Within a short time, we were celebrating special anniversaries on all different Aebi production lines. In a loose series, we have shown where the vehicles have gone to and how they are used. To conclude the series, we follow the 20,000th transporter, an Aebi TP 470 Vario, to France.

From the top of the Col du Pillon pass, in the west of Switzerland at 1546 meters above sea level, it takes about 15 minutes by aerial tramway to reach the top station of the glacier ski area Glacier 3000. Four snow blowers and two trucks equipped with plows ensure that the unique glacier ski area is always accessible, even for early risers. On arrival, you are usually rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Matterhorn. To ensure that access to the aerial tramway is possible at all times, heavy equipment is also needed at this altitude - for example the new Supra 4002 from Jean-Luc Busset.

The fact that complex machines are nevertheless easy to operate was an important argument that led to the purchase of the CJS fleet at Zurich Airport. Thanks to this, the drivers can concentrate on their work, namely clearing snow, slush and ice, even with a high pulse at two o'clock in the night.

Two of the largest international airports in Canada – Calgary and Montreal – rely on MB and Schmidt snow clearing equipment. Before putting their trust in these machines, operations directors at both airports thoroughly evaluated their needs and performed in-depth testing to determine if our multi-tasking snow removal equipment could tackle their challenging winter weather events. We caught up with the operators to understand whether the units proved themselves in practice and what they would like to see in the future.

El pasado miércoles, en la plataforma de Stuttgart, el Grupo Aebi Schmidt y Stuttgart Airport GmbH presentaron cómo es el futuro del mantenimiento invernal con vehículos y equipos de funcionamiento autónomo. El sistema, probado en el aeropuerto de Stuttgart, está totalmente integrado por primera vez.

¿Pasa la mayor parte de su jornada laboral en un vehículo y se siente agotado al final del día? La fisioterapeuta Kathrin Kamm le muestra la posición óptima al sentarse para que el dolor de espalda o la tensión en el cuello sean cosa del pasado.

The feedback following tests with the prototype of an electric-hydraulic eSyntos spreader in a municipality in the Netherlands was so promising that the machine is now starting series production.

The Aebi Schmidt Group has decided not to exhibit at IFAT in Munich and to come to you instead. On 20 and 21 June 2022, we will offer virtual presentations of our latest product and service developments, live and conveniently streamed on your screen, enabling you to follow those topics and demonstrations which are of interest to you.

The Wasa 300⁺ is a firm favourite for cleaning large areas in industrial and port zones and for cleaning heavily soiled roads in small towns and communities. It can comfortably handle big jobs thanks to its large container and tank volume and prevents fine dust particles from escaping into the air thanks to its mechanical dirt absorber. Furat Kadhem, supervisor at Vemmab AB, an organisation based in Västerås (Sweden), is also a big fan.

Todavía no es tiempo de nevadas, pero con el invierno pasado en la memoria, sabemos que, cuando llegue, no será clemente. Por eso es mejor empezar a prepararse para la temporada invernal sin demora. Limpiar adecuadamente las carreteras cubiertas de nieve es un reto importante para el servicio invernal cada año. Aebi Schmidt ha desarrollado una nueva quitanieves que puede despejar de nieve las autovías y autopistas, empleando solamente una cuchilla frontal, con una anchura de más de seis metros. Esto es una ventaja en muchos aspectos.

The Lower Austrian state government has been using reliable Schmidt winter maintenance equipment for decades. The oldest product still in use is a 1958 lifting and pressing device for snow ploughs. They also use numerous ploughs, snow cutter blowers and salt spreaders for winter maintenance. Recently, three new Stratos 50 Combi Flex spreaders were added to the fleet to help Andreas Böhmer, Deputy Head of Machines and Vehicles, and his team to combat the icy winter roads.
