HARDMOB | Helicopter Wheels | Airbus H145 D2/D3
Moving a helicopter on the ground is a fundamental part of the operation. The ground support equipment you choose must ensure that this process is carried out safely and efficiently.
The Hardmob is a helicopter ground-handling wheel system equipped with the advanced ATM System®, which replaces both hydraulic wheels and mechanical lever-operated wheels. Learn how this advanced helicopter ground-handling system works in the text below.
The PN AM-HDM-145D-K01 model is certified to lift and enable the ground movement of the AIRBUS H145 D2 and D3, including Mercedes-equipped versions featuring cross-tube fairings.
This equipment replaces and outperforms the functions of PN D090P00A1101 and PN D0910-000-00 wheels.
THOSE WHO PURSUE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE NEED EQUIPMENT THAT MEETS THE SAME STANDARD.
You spent years building your reputation as an aviation professional. Every time an aircraft is moved safely and under full control, that same level of professionalism is demonstrated.
Equipment that fails, leaks, or requires excessive physical effort does not match the level of care your operation demands.
THE PROBLEM NO ONE TALKS ABOUT, BUT EVERY OPERATOR KNOWS.
Hydraulic wheels leak. And when that happens, the aircraft may become unavailable inside the hangar because of a piece of ground support equipment.
At that point, someone has to explain to the owner why an aircraft that was ready to fly had its operation interrupted by a wheel.
Beyond the operational inconvenience, this creates an impression of poor preparation, inadequate planning, and low reliability in the equipment supporting the operation.
And damaging a reputation built through years of care is painful for any operator.
THE HARDMOB WAS DEVELOPED TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM.
With the ATM System®, developed and patented by AEROMOB, the lifting mechanism is 100% mechanical. No hydraulics. No fluid. No leaks. No hydraulic maintenance.
One person. Full control. Operational reliability.
With no lever bar and no hydraulic system, the ATM System® works as a mechanical force multiplier. It has no ratchet, features a self-locking mechanism, and provides safe operation.
In practice, the equipment follows the same operating principle as a hydraulic wheel, as though you were pumping the system, but without using a single drop of oil.
With a structure lighter than conventional hydraulic wheels, the HARDMOB provides more precise, quieter, and more reliable ground movement. Its system lifts the aircraft more quickly, reduces operator effort, and provides greater control during every ground maneuver.
SAFETY AND CONTROL IN EVERY MANEUVER.
The continuous locking system allows the operator to release the handle at any point during lifting or lowering, with no jolts, no sudden drops, and no risk of uncontrolled descent caused by opening hydraulic valves.
The equipment’s design shifts the center of gravity forward, making the aircraft easier to move and reducing the risk of tail tipping during operation.
COMPLETE AIRCRAFT PROTECTION.
The HARDMOB positions the helicopter 30% higher than other wheel systems on the market. This increased ground clearance prevents the skids from dragging and protects the skid shoes when operating on ramps, uneven surfaces, and operational areas.
The fitting is precision-machined for each aircraft model, ensuring a secure and stable attachment without damaging the skids.
The high-pressure tires make movement easier, are readily available on the market, and offer a lower replacement cost.
In addition, the equipment receives an anti-corrosion chemical treatment, maintaining operational reliability even in coastal, saline, and offshore environments.
FOR THE OWNER: ASSET PROTECTION, FLIGHT AVAILABILITY, AND THE ELIMINATION OF UNNECESSARY HYDRAULIC REPAIR COSTS.
An aircraft being grounded because of inadequate ground support equipment is unacceptable.
The HARDMOB eliminates the common risks associated with hydraulic wheels: zero hydraulic components, zero fluid leaks, zero wasted costs on hydraulic repairs, and zero unexpected failures when the aircraft needs to be moved.
It does not matter whether the aircraft is airworthy if unreliable ground support equipment makes it operationally unavailable.
With the HARDMOB, the aircraft is ready to fly whenever it needs to fly.
SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE ALWAYS WITHIN REACH.
To ensure that your team is always properly trained, every HARDMOB features a QR Code engraved directly onto its structure, providing access to the user video manual, continuously updated technical documentation, and direct support from AEROMOB, with no intermediaries.
