The system provides preheating to the engine, engine oil, reduction gearboxes and attached accessories, critical driveline components, main and tail rotor gearboxes, fluids, hydraulic modules, and battery. The installation kit comes complete with required cabling, circuit protection, shore power plug and door kit.

Doug Evink, Tanis President/ CEO commented that: “Tanis stands for the most technologically-advanced preheat systems. Our line of preheat and protection accessories has long been an industry standard and we are the only preheat company that has received FAA approval via a Supplemental Type Certificate for preheat systems.
