What safety features are designed into the Aero-Lift?
All of the structural elements of the Aero-Lift are designed and assembled to exacting manufacturing specifications. The Aero-Lift has been load tested to three and one half times its stated capacity without failure. As an example, the drive screw that is used to raise the aircraft is rated in excess of 70,000 lbs. The Aero-Lift drive system is designed in such a manner that it is physically impossible for the Aero-Lift to raise a load that exceeds its rated limits. In addition, the use of the drive nut, safety nut and screw lifting mechanism ensures that the lift is infinitely lockable (wherever the lift is stopped, it is locked in that position) so no additional locking mechanisms are required. Also, since the Aero-Lift utilizes a mechanical drive nut and screw configuration, there are no component failure scenarios such as broken hydraulic lines, etc. that can result in unintended lowering of the aircraft. In short, there is no safer design than the Aero-Lift for lifting and storing
