Helicopter tow carts
It is one of the industry’s greatest recent innovations. This is a landing and ground transport dolly that simplifies and saves time, labor and costs of handling you helicopter while it’s on the ground.
This platform is a fully-contained electronic, rechargeable, motorized heli-ground transport system with ‘remote control’ and ‘tethered control’ capability.It is engineered to provide an extremely stable and safe landing platform for light to mid sized skid helicopters.>The desk surface is coated with a thick, tough, durable and nonskid polyurethane liner that is resistant to fuels, hydraulic fluids and other caustic chemicals.
Drive System:
The PowerTrain is an engineered system, powered by components that have proven themselves reliable for many years in the electric vehicle industry, held together by a chassis system with unmatched strength..
High grade fasteners are engineered to exceed the stresses applied to the chassis from less than “Gentle” landings.
The industrial gear reducer and electric motor combination is engineered to allow no forward movement without power. This feature combined with the chassis weight provides the most stable, mobile landing pad in the world.
Commercial grade batteries provide over two hours of continuous run time under load. Maintaining battery charge level is as easy as plugging in an extension cord. The automatic onboard charger will charge the battery bank and shut off when complete. Underneath the rugged deck frame assembly is a PowerTrain that is as tough and reliable as your aircraft.
Chassis and Deck Assembly:
It is engineered to provide an extremely stable, safe landing platform for light to medium skid helicopters. Industrial grade casters and drive wheels are designed to comfortably traverse minor changes in grade and clear low obstacles.
The deck surfaces are coated with a thick, tough durable spray-on, non skid polyurethane liner that is resistant to fuels, hydraulic fluids, and most chemicals. The recessed deck lid fasteners protect skids from damage.
