The Lambert St. Louis (Mo.) International Airport owns an MB-5 high-speed runway snow removal unit that has allowed it to cut runway clearing time in half compared to its previous method of using various vehicles, said Michael Bernich, fleet manager.
The specialized airport snow removal unit has a 24-foot plow and 22-foot broom. It has two 500-hp diesel engines and four-wheel steering, and staff fuel it with B-20 biodiesel.
The airport is scheduled to receive its tenth unit of this style this summer.
