Aircraft Lift Brings Parking Technology to the Hangar.

ARM Aerospace has come up with a way to increase the storage capacity of hangars. The Aero-Lift makes it possible to store two airplanes in almost any hangar by lifting one aircraft into the air and using the empty space underneath to store an additional aircraft. It is a cantilevered, single-post lift design that uses a jackscrew mechanism and electric motor, rather than a traditional hydraulic system. Aircraft are hoisted on a large girder that branches off to three docks that can be adjusted quickly to accommodate the landing gear configuration. ARM says engineering analysis has shown the units are suitable for use in earthquake risk areas, including California and Alaska.
