The De Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou, a specialized cargo aircraft, is manufactured by De Havilland Canada. It made its maiden flight in 1958, marking the third aircraft design with Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capabilities in the company’s history and De Havilland’s initial use of a twin-engine configuration. While the design shared similarities with the preceding DHC Beaver and DHC Otter, the DHC-4 Caribou distinguished itself with a significantly larger size and an extended fuselage, while still preserving the ruggedness characteristic of these aircraft. Primarily employed for military operations, with a limited number adapted for commercial use, the DHC-4 Caribou has largely retired from military service. Nevertheless, a few remain in operation, serving as robust “bush” aircraft.
Red Box is delighted to present an extensive range of ground power equipment tailored for the De Havilland DHC-4 Caribou aircraft, encompassing tugs, ground power units, start power units and more. These offerings perfectly meet the specific requirements of the DHC-4 Caribou.
Included in this range is the 747C tug, and the RBSC150 continuous power unit. The RBSC150 unit is well-suited for diagnostic tasks, pre-flight checks, or the sustained powering of equipment during operations, all without depleting the onboard aircraft batteries. Additionally, we provide a combination of start and continuous power in a single unit for the De Havilland DHC-4 Caribou aircraft within our TC3000 range.
