Before you buy lifting bags, watch this recovery.
Pneumatic lifting bags are proven heavy-recovery equipment — and for a belly landing, they're the right call. But most disabled-aircraft incidents are flat tires and gear failures. For those, PlaneSkate clears the runway in 17 minutes with no lift plan, no crane, and no recovery crew.
Two different jobs. Two different tools.
This is an honest comparison. Airbag systems and PlaneSkate both recover disabled aircraft — they just recover different incidents.
If your risk profile includes belly landings, own the bags — or know the contractor who has them. PlaneSkate doesn't replace airbag recovery. What it replaces is the 17-hour wait when a King Air blows a main on your only runway. See how it compares to conventional aircraft recovery dollies and flat tire dollies.
The roll-off option, in three sizes.
The largest piston twins, turboprops, and medium corporate jets. Dual-main-gear ready.
Regional commuter jets, heavy corporate jets, and military aircraft. 18,000 lb winch.
“The 100K PlaneSkate paid for itself the first time we used it. It is now an essential piece of equipment in our inventory.”

One incident can cost $200,000 or more. The equipment that clears the common cases starts at $6,995 and deploys in under 45 seconds. Run your numbers, then see it work in person.
