PlaneSkate 15K, 70K, and 100K for general aviation, FBOs, and Part 139 airports. Get a disabled aircraft moving in 17 minutes — no jacks, no tire removal, no specialist.
Average time-on-runway for a disabled aircraft: 17 hours. Diversions, fuel burn, missed slot windows — all on you.
Mutual-aid recovery teams may be 60–90 minutes out. The clock keeps running. So do the costs.
Crews rig jacks and dollies on the fly. A bent gear leg becomes a six-figure insurance claim — and lives on your record.
Every diverted aircraft costs the airport, the carrier, and the passengers. The tower remembers. So does the press.
Your existing ground crew rolls a disabled aircraft off the runway. No jacks. No disassembly. No contractors.
Trained in under 30 minutes. No call-outs. No contracts. No waiting on a third party.
Invented in 2012 by a 31,000-hour pilot. The first — and still the only — tool engineered for runway recovery.
Three models — 15K, 70K, and 100K — covering single-engine piston through narrow-body commercial.
PlaneSkate 15K covers piston singles through light jets — the unit most regional and GA airports buy first. PlaneSkate 70K covers large piston twins, turboprops, and light-to-large corporate jets up to 70,000 lb. PlaneSkate 100K covers heavy corporate and regional jets. Same load procedure, same training, same paperwork.
1/2" and 1/4" welded steel structure supports the caster array and the load tray. The tray plate is 1/2" steel with an additional 1/2" welded brace on the leading edge — creating a frame that will not twist, bend, or fail under load.
100% engineered, assembled, and shipped from Buffalo, Minnesota.
A disabled-aircraft incident at a mid-size airport typically costs $200,000 to $500,000 or more in delay, diversion, and ground operations costs.
At $5,829 for the 15K and $59,327 for the 100K, the equipment pays for itself the first time it is used.
