“Airports cover a large footprint and spills can occur anywhere. Maintenance crews need to be prepared at a moments’ notice, with a reliable trailer, to attend to spills anywhere across the airport.”
Rick Ohlmeyer – Gecko Cleantech
Operating airports and keeping runways, access roads and aircraft hangars safe, involves the storage and use of chemicals and hazardous materials such as oil and fuel, biological materials, fire-fighting foam, solvents, and various other substances.
Spills can and do happen, and airports span a large footprint so there’s a lot of ground to cover. Environmental and safety imperatives to keep people and aircraft safe mean it’s essential spills are contained and cleaned up as soon as they occur.
The three most critical issues our customer, Gecko Cleantech, asked us to solve were:
Gecko Cleantech teamed up with Hidrive and the result was the highly specialised Gecko Cleantech rapid response trailer. This quality Australian-made product is fitted out to meet the current and future needs of our client.
Features such as automatic replenishment of spills absorbents are a game-changer, meaning technicians never need to waste time refilling receptacles in an emergency.
We designed this fit-for-purpose trailer to enable technicians to quickly reach any part of an airport when spills occur. The trailer is fitted out with high quality storage, shelving and accessories that enable crews to organise all their gear.
Constructed of aluminium, it won’t rust and includes a range of safety features — such as spring-loaded catches on the underbody rear roller drawer to prevent it rolling open when in use on sloping ground, which protects operators and other vehicles.
Gecko Cleantech is impressed with the quality, functionality and ease of use of the trailer which offers world class, rapid response environmental and hazard clean up capabilities.
“Our customer has peace of mind knowing this is a reliable product that’s going to be backed for years to come.”

“We deal with multiple types of spills every day. In an emergency, we grab the spills trailer and head out to the spill and contain it as best we can. This Hidrive trailer never lets us down.”
Bruce Gray, Maintenance Mechanic
“The aluminium body was an absolute must because it’s light and won’t rust. Alongside that, we’ve got the flexibility of the strut system and shelves within the unit that allow the configuration inside to be changed. We’re really happy with it.”
