Storage Weight Capacity and Calculation
The Aero-Lift
was designed to accommodate any aircraft that has a Storage Weight
of less than 2,500 lbs and a total gear width of less than 12 feet.
With this in mind the Aero-Lift can safely and efficiently lift
over 98% of all single engine, piston driven GA aircraft. When
considering the capacity of your Aero-Lift please remember to calculate
the Storage Weight of your aircraft, which is not the same as the
aircraft's Gross Weight. The best way to calculate the Storage
Weight is to determine your aircraft's Empty Weight (from your
Pilot’s Operating Handbook) then add in the weight of the fuel
that you typically store in the aircraft, plus any other items
like portable oxygen tanks, charts, chart bags, spare oil, tie-downs
and emergency kits, etc. that remain in the aircraft. Remember,
the Storage Weight of your aircraft should be less than its maximum
certified Gross Weight.
Storage Weight = Empty Weight + (Fuel Gallons x
6) + Other Items
Please refer to the ARM Aerospace weight
specifications chart for a complete listing of GA aircraft
with the Empty Weights and Storage Weights.
Beyond that, it is really more a question of how
your target aircraft will stack in your hangar. ARM Aerospace offers
a Free Hangar Analysis. With this tool we can determine the optimal
placement of your Aero-Lift and aircraft. This visualization demonstrates
that everything fits in your hangar properly.
Aero-Lift Stores Virtually
Any Light, Single
Aero-Lift’’s unique design can accommodate a wide
range of airframes and landing gear configurations. You can specify
either tricycle or tail-wheel, or you can order an Aero-Lift outfitted
for both styles for maximum flexibility. This dual configuration
is particularly popular with FBO and high-density hangaring operators
who need to address a wide range of aircraft storage requirements.
Lift Height
Your Aero-Lift will raise the gear of your aircraft
10 feet above the hangar floor and will provide a full 10 feet
of clearance for the vertical stabilizer of another aircraft stored
on the hangar floor, directly below. Same hangar space – two aircraft.
