AERO Specialities Will Be On The Ground At Inauguration, Super Bowl

Purpose-Built "Towbar Trolley" Will Help Move Planes

AERO Specialties has provided Signature Flight Support a wide variety of ground support equipment for the upcoming Presidential Inauguration and the Super Bowl.

AERO designed and built a special "Towbar Trolley" for the occasion, which allows a complete set of towbars and heads to be easily and quickly moved from one location to another.

"This is truly the Swiss Army Knife of towing equipment," said Matt Sheehan, president of AERO Specialties.

The Towbar Trolley -- constructed on AERO's RJ2-Series galvanized trailer -- holds two multi-head and two universal towbars, and a set of aircraft attachment heads that can move every business jet that Signature Flight might see at its Dulles, VA and Tampa, FL FBOs.

"Never before has the world seen such a comprehensive, compact, durable, portable and user-friendly collection of towbars and heads. I expect at least a Nobel nomination or an invitation to the White House for this one," Sheehan quipped.

Alas, Sheehan may have to settle for knowing the added business represents a roughly $150,000 infusion to AERO's bottom line. In addition to the Towbar Trolley, AERO equipment going to Dulles and Tampa includes the company's LC60-RJ Lavatory Service Cart; its WC60-RJ Potable Water Cart; Eagle TT-8D all wheel drive aircraft tractor; and the TLD 4060-T-CUP-28 400Hz/60kva + 28VDC diesel-powered GPU.

AERO Specialties is the exclusive general aviation distributor in the US for TLD ground power and Eagle Tugs.
