Quattro Plant

Moving an aircraft around an airfield

Quattro Plant is a multi-disciplined plant hire company providing managed services and equipment to support rail, road and construction companies throughout the UK.

 

As part of its marketing effort, the company has a branded plane owned and operated by Aerial Advantage. The light aircraft is used regularly at events to advertise Quattro Plant, which helps support its ongoing maintenance to keep the plane looking at its best. But getting a plane from storage to the maintenance area to the runway and back again requires a level of manual handling that is much safer when using a towing device to prevent unnecessary accidents or injuries.

 

Quattro Plant contacted our team for a recommendation to help their colleagues at Aerial Advantage. Fortunately, our V-Move XL-HD electric tug from Verhagen Leiden proves just the device for the safe towing of small light aircraft in various sizes and weights.

 

With a towing capacity of 5,000kg, this compact unit is ideal for moving small aircraft around an airfield simply and safely. A heavy-duty motor and standard solid air-filled tires make light work of pulling the load across any terrain from grass to tarmac, and one overnight 5-8hr battery recharge ensures the unit is ready for action each morning.

 

After a detailed consultation over the phone, the customer agreed that the XL-HD sounded the most suited tow tug for the job. They purchased a unit immediately, which our team then delivered directly to Aerial Advantage in Ashford, Kent, as a standard configuration with a tow bar ready to ‘hook and go’.

 

We now have a happy customer in Quattro Plant who know our tow unit is helping the team at Aerial Advantage take care of their marketing investment. We look forward to helping them again with any future requirements.
