At DJ Products Inc., we understand the intricacies and challenges involved in aircraft handling and movement within hangars and airfields. With safety and efficiency at the forefront, our AircraftCaddy solutions are designed to address the very challenges aviation professionals face daily. The AircraftCaddy is not just a piece of equipment; it’s a comprehensive tool that ensures precise, controlled, and safe movement of your aircraft. 

Precision and Control 

The key to preventing accidental damage to your valuable aircraft and the surrounding infrastructure lies in precise and controlled movements. Our AircraftCaddy excels in offering operators meticulous control over the aircraft’s movement, minimizing the risk of collisions and ensuring a smooth transition from hangar to runway and vice versa. Such precision not only protects your investment but also maintains a safe operating environment for everyone involved. 

Maneuverability in Tight Spaces 

One of the AircraftCaddy’s standout features is its tight turning radius, allowing for unparalleled maneuverability in even the most confined spaces. This ability makes the AircraftCaddy an ideal match for various aircraft parking and hangar environments, providing flexibility and reducing the hassle in planning and executing aircraft movements, particularly where space is at a premium. 

Reduced Physical Effort 

Another significant benefit of the AircraftCaddy concerns the operator’s wellbeing. Traditional methods of moving aircraft can be physically demanding, posing a risk of personal injury. Our AircraftCaddy requires minimal physical effort, making aircraft handling a safer, more comfortable task, and reducing the potential for strain-related injuries. 

Operational Efficiency 

Time is of the essence in aviation operations, and efficient aircraft movement plays a critical role in maintaining schedules and productivity. The AircraftCaddy’s design enhances operational efficiency, allowing for quick and effortless positioning of aircraft, subsequently streamlining the workflow and saving valuable time. 

Built-in Safety Features 

Safety doesn’t take a backseat with the AircraftCaddy. Designed with essential safety features like emergency stop buttons, the AircraftCaddy ensures that operators can halt all movement immediately in unforeseen circumstances. This built-in safety measure provides an additional layer of protection for both the operator and the aircraft, reinforcing our commitment to safety above all. 

In conclusion, the AircraftCaddy from DJ Products Inc. stands as an indispensable tool for aviation professionals. Through its combination of controlled precision, easy maneuverability, reduced physical demand on the operator, enhanced operational efficiency, and robust safety features, the AircraftCaddy delivers peace of mind in aircraft handling operations. Ensure smooth, efficient, and safe aircraft movement every time with the AircraftCaddy.

How Can You Use an Aircraft Caddy?

Moving aircraft in and out of hangar spaces presents a two-fold challenge. In addition to their large size, these vehicles are moved outdoors, where surfaces may be uneven or slippery from rain, snow and ice.

The Aircraft Caddy from DJ Products lets a single person move aircraft weighing up to 15,000 pounds. Find out how this battery-powered aircraft tug made a difference for one of our satisfied customers.

The Aircraft Caddy: One Customer’s Story

Our customer predominantly flies a Tradewinds Turbine A36, but also operates a Cessna Conquest 425. Originally, he was using a gas-powered tug, golf cart and four-wheeler to move his planes.

So how did that work out? As he explains, “The gas-powered tug was hard to start, slow and so heavy it was hard to move. The golf cart and four-wheeler required a higher skill level and we have had issues with hitting the hangar as the planes were put in.”

Some friends in Texas were also flying a Cessna Conquest 425, along with a Cessna Conquest 441. They tipped our customer off to the Aircraft Caddy, telling him they had been using one with great success.

Right from the start, our customer was pleased with how easy and efficient the ordering and receiving process was. “The unit was delivered right when it was promised and our Sales Engineer followed up to make sure everything was good.”

Our customer chose the same model being used by his friends in Texas, and he simply calls it “the best caddy we have ever used – simple, fast, and anyone could use it.” He makes a point of saying he has used the caddy on dry, wet and snow-packed surfaces, with excellent result at all times.

One of the benefits our customer discovered is our commitment to excellent service, as demonstrated by the numerous follow-up calls he’s received. In the biggest compliment we could receive, he has recommended our aircraft tug to other pilots at the airport, who have seen it in action.
