  • Heavy-duty powder coated steel construction provides a higher factor of safety than any other manufacturer.
  • Stainless steel aircraft engagement pins, locks and latches won’t rust and degrade like the hardware on other manufacturer’s heads.
  • Precision CNC machined stainless steel nose-gear pins and latches are crafted to exacting tolerances for a precise fit on aircraft NLG.
  • Linear & radial shear protection: Drop-through, easily replaceable shear bolts (two active, four spares included) provide push-pull and side-to-side protection.
  • Fabricated gussets: Angles are reinforced by machined gussets welded into the head structure.
  • The positive stop back plate allows the operator to slide the shank into the towbar until the back plate stops. This means the attachment pin hole is precisely aligned, making the head attachment process quick and easy.
  • Ball-lock pin sleeves: The pin guiding sleeve is welded into the head shank to make attachment easy and safe.
  • Positive gear pin locks: We still use the tried-and-true traditional ball-lock pin to secure the nose engagement pins in place. There is no safer system. The Ball-lock pin stays connected to the head with a lanyard and stainless steel hardware.
  • Clear & concise labels: Warning, serial number and model part number labels, including aircraft applications, are made of durable, chemical and weather-resistant material.
  • Engraved Part No. and CE mark: All heads have their part number and the CE mark clearly engraved.
  • Service & support: When you purchase an AERO Specialties product you have also purchased the best service and support in the industry.
  • Replacement parts are always low in price and kept in-stock.
