They Do This With Boats, Right?

Arm Aerospace Aircraft Lift Addresses Expensive And Diminishing Hangar Space

Recognizing that hangars are scarce and hangar fees are steadily escalating, especially in large metropolitan areas, ARM Aerospace of Tucson (AZ) has come up with an innovative solution that doubles the storage capacity of any existing hangar.  They have created The Aero-Lift a cantilevered lift that makes it possible to store two airplanes in almost any hangar by lifting one aircraft into the air and using the empty space underneath to store an additional aircraft (or a car or a boat). Already adopted by a number of FBOs, general aviation and sport aviation pilots and aeroclubs, the lift Aero-Lift has met with an enthusiastic response in the United States and overseas.

The Aerolift Aero-Lift can raise a 2500 pound aircraft, with any gear configuration.  The Aero-Lift is a cantilevered, single-post lift design that uses a jackscrew mechanism and electric motor, rather than traditional hydraulic systems.  The Aero-Lift is also perfect for maintaining or cleaning the belly and gear of any aircraft.

The aircraft are hoisted on a large girder that branches off to three docks that can be adjusted quickly to accommodate any landing gear configuration.  The unit’s components are substantial in size and weight, and yet the Aero-Lift sits unattached on the floor.  Nothing is bolted to the hangar structure.  Nearly everyone who sees an Aero-lift Lift for the first time is surprised by the massiveness sturdiness and size of the system and its components.  Thorough Engineering engineering analysis has endorsed approved the units for use in the highest earthquake risk areas, including California and Alaska.  

 

Aero-Lift owners have found a wide variety of ways to recover their cost investment, developing pay-off plans that take from one to three years.  At any airport with hangar rents exceeding $300/month, an Aero-lift Lift, which manifests the "two-hangars-for-the-price-of-one" philosophy, begins to make sense.  On the other hand, someone who suddenly has the opportunity to create a new hangar space at an airport with a long waiting list, or gets to take their aircraft out of the tie-down area and harsh weather(read: lower insurance premium), will feel that the lift pays for itself in the first month immediately.
