Abstract: A dolly with a U-shaped frame has parallel side beams and a lowered bed platform of two parallel spaced plates. An open ended dolly with corresponding side beams and a platform bed may connect to the dolly with the U-shape at hinge plate connections on the side beams of the dolly with the U-shaped frame and the open ended dolly. A ramp that is lowerable to engage the tarmac is raisable to engage the platform bed of the open ended dolly. The two dollies having a combined length of at least 9 feet. An open ended dolly may have a pair of fixed ramps extending from the bed platform downwardly. Each ramped displaced inwardly in a forward rearward direction from the respective ends of the open ended dolly.

Abstract: A dolly for placement beneath a landing gear of an aircraft that enables transport of the aircraft without rolling the tire of the aircraft. The dolly includes a platform for a tire to rest on and a channel for positioning the tire. The dolly includes a winch for translating the dolly and aircraft tire relative to each other such that the landing gear is brought to rest on the platform, and one or more stops for securing the aircraft landing gear with respect to the dolly. Once positioned, the dolly can be used while transporting the aircraft, either by hand pushing, a hand towbar, a motorized tug with a towbar, or other mode. The dolly is useful for moving aircraft with a damaged landing gear or flat tires.

The dolly is useful for moving aircraft in tight spaces and is also useful for transporting aircraft with damaged landing gear or flat tires.

Abstract: A dolly with an inflatable airbag stack for placement beneath a portion of a disabled aircraft enables the aircraft to be raised and the subsequent transport of the aircraft without requiring cranes or heavy equipment. An adjustable height rigid support structure may be received by the dolly, the rigid support structure having an aircraft support platform that may be positioned on the top of the inflatable airbag stack such that as the airbag stack is raised, the aircraft support platform engages the disabled aircraft. The airbag stack may be deflated such that the weight of the aircraft is carried by the rigid support structure. The dolly's bed or another dolly in a recovery system may also receive a flat tire of a disabled aircraft. The dolly may receive a support platform extending between a pair of beams, the airbag stack seating on the platform.
