AERO Specialties is Equipping the Aviation Industry with GSE on the Cutting Edge

1. AERO Specialties is Equipping the Aviation Industry with GSE on the Cutting Edge AERO Specialties has long been recognized as producing not only some of the finest ground support equipment (GSE) and accessories on the market, but also for their commitment to innovation within the industry. Those innovations range from a hybrid aircraft ground power unit line to advanced radar-equipped FOD identification and removal vehicles. The following outlines just a few of the innovations that AERO Specialties has introduced to enhance efficiency, save any airport a considerable amount of money, and most importantly, improve safety. The SiPsHitch™ Linear Force Monitoring System Ramp damage alone, not including the billions airlines lose to ground crew injuries sustained in accidents, costs the airline industry around $5 billion every year. As such, AERO Specialties has responded with the SiPsHitch™ Linear Force Monitoring System. The SiPsHitch™system, available on new aircraft pushback tractors or tugs and as a retrofit kit, works by monitoring and recording the stress to nose gear during tows. That means a unique level of protection by warning operators before overstress incidents result in incredibly costly damage. And, in the

AERO Series Hydraulic Power Units When designing the next generation of hydraulic power units (HPUs), the engineers at AERO Specialties incorporated input from MROs and certified AMTs from around the globe on how to improve the HPU.This resulted in a new series of Hydraulic Power Units with an intuitive, user- friendly, and easy to understand digital display backed by their proprietary software-driven interface. Their system allows for the quick and painless testing and operating of aircraft hydraulic systems, and even includes an electrical soft start to reduce wear on the motor and increase its life. AERO Safe-Lav LC180-RJ2E-SL Electric Lavatory Service Cart Lavatory carts aren’t the most romantic feature of the aviation industry, but they’re certainly a necessary one. Unfortunately, a single lav-overfill spill can mean thousands of dollars in damage to an aircraft, which may prove downright inexpensive compared to the resultant downtime. The Safe-Lav system, like SiPsHitch™ on an aircraft tug, can be purchased with a new cart or as a retrofit for your current one. It also employs a dedicated batching tank witha direct-reading tank and delivery system. The result is the risk of spills being precluded with the maximum fluid quantity being determined and only that amount delivered, while broken or inaccurate flow meters have no impact on delivery. The LC180-RJ2E-SL Safe Lav cart is available now on AERO Specialties’ website. Find out more about AERO Specialties’ https://www.aerospecialties.com/ improvements and innovations at
