Aircraft Recovery Dolly

The aircraft recovery dolly that doesn't stop at 20,000 lbs

Most recovery dollies are shop tools rated to about 20,000 lbs. PlaneSkate is runway-clearing equipment: three models rated 15,000 to 100,000 lbs that roll a disabled aircraft off the runway on its flat tire — no jacks, no tire removal, no contractor wait.
