Tucson, AZ – As part of their program to continue product improvement and expansion, ARM Aerospace has added two optional enhancements to their Aero-Lift. The first is a JackPoint System that allows Bonanza, Mooney and other low-wing owners and service centers to use their Aero-Lift as a lifting jack so the aircraft gear can be cycled. The second item is a Seismic Isolation System that virtually assures stability of the Aero-lift in the event the ground around it begins to rock and roll as the result of an earthquake.
Utilizing the JackPoint System is a simple matter of removing the three wheel scoops, installing jack rods that will attach to the factory jack points under the wings, tying down the tail to an attached tail beam and then raising the lift to the desired height. This allows any Bonanza or Mooney or other low wing aircraft to be set in position for maintenance or annual inspections and cycling of the landing gear. The entire process of converting the lift to an aircraft jack only takes a few minutes.
Although the Aero-Lift has been designed to provide excellent intrinsic stability, the Seismic Isolation System adds extra protection for any area that is vulnerable to earthquakes. It employs a base isolator system similar to those used for telecommunications servers and large buildings. The system isolates the Aero-Lift and any aircraft parked on it from the forces of an earthquake. Any forces transmitted to an Aero-Lift are “dampened” within the seismic isolator through the use of Kevlar energy absorption matting. Though the ground may shake around it, the Aero-Lift will remain steady.
Aero-Lifts were created to make existing hangar space more useful through High Density Hangaring. In single “T” hangars it is now possible, with an Aero-Lift, to store two aircraft, one over another and while the storage capacity doubles, the two aircraft owners see their rent cut in half. The same High Density Hangar concept holds true for large box hangars or corporate hangars, as well.
