The TP1000 is the most compact portable aircraft hangar available, and its versatility is unmatched. This versatile structure comes with a variety of amenities, including Teleplatforms, Utility pits, and Firefighting foam. This article will discuss some of these features. To learn more about the TP1000, please continue reading. We hope this article was useful to you. In the meantime, you can use it to decide whether it is the best portable aircraft hangar for your needs.
Teleplatforms
A teleplatform is a kind of elevated work platform that can be moved around an aircraft hangar to assist mechanics with their tasks. Traditional fixed equipment such as power lift platforms, bucket trucks and wheeled work stands require more floor space and a long reach. Teleplatforms on the other hand can travel around any aircraft, mounted on an overhead bridge crane system, and can turn 360 degrees within their footprint. Moreover, new mini models can be used to deliver mechanics into difficult-to-reach areas.
Utility Pits
Portable aircraft hangars can be a great way to accommodate a fleet of aircraft. Utility pit systems are designed with easy-to-use features like a single touch opening and closing. The pits are conveniently located next to aircraft and can accommodate up to four 400 Hz cables and two PCA-hoes. They are available as Pop-up Systems or Hatch Systems and are individually configurable.
Firefighting Foam
The use of foam fire suppression in a portable aircraft hangar is an effective way to protect valuable assets from the threat of a fire. However, foam is often a dangerous chemical if improperly used. Not only can it damage sensitive systems, but it can also damage aircraft, hangar assets, vehicles, tools, and support equipment. Ultimately, foam fire suppression can also damage the reputation of the aircraft hangar operator, resulting in increased costs of repairs.
Helical Anchors
Helical Anchors are the best option for portable aircraft hangars. These anchors drill directly into the ground and are strong enough to make a structure permanent but light enough to be easily removed. ClearSpan offers the most extensive selection of building equipment and accessories for your aircraft hangar. This durable, weather-resistant, and dependable building option is a great choice for any type of aircraft. The following are some benefits of using helical anchors:
Cost
The cost of a portable aircraft hangar can vary significantly. Some airports charge as much as $50 per month for tie downs, and airplanes are exposed to the elements. Some hangars offer inside and outside space, and some are shared by other plane owners. Some hangars will have electricity and climate control, while others are not. Some are heated and others are not and will cost more than others. Check local laws and compare quotes.
Reliability
The reliability of a tensile structure architecture depends on a number of factors. For example, the design must be strong enough to support the weight of the aircraft. Moreover, the hangar must be durable enough to resist extreme weather conditions. The building should be able to withstand the weight of snow on the roof and external temperatures ranging from -60 to 70 degrees Celsius. In other words, it should be able to withstand the worst and yet continue to be reliable.
