 Fuel Cost Savings According to one airline industry study, the cost of jet fuel and maintenance needed to run an auxiliary power unit can range from $72 to more than $212 per hour, depending on the aircraft, but power and air supplied by gate equipment is estimated at just $10.81 per hour. That means if ground-supplied preconditioned air can be quickly hooked up, the cost of running the APU can be cut by millions of dollars every year. Improved Airflow Quality Excess hose lying around the tarmac results in kinks and bends that restrict airflow and causes the pilots to ignite the Auxiliary Power Unit to provide a reasonable on-board temperature for passengers. The BOOM-Air® Hose Management System only deploys the exact amount of hose that is needed thus eliminating this condition. Protection from Consequential Damages Hose life is drastically increased since the hose is not lying around the tarmac and subject to damage caused by ground support equipment, maintenance personnel, snow removal crews and other weather related damages. What is the cost of an aircraft engine when the current hose and reel technology gets sucked up inadvertently? |

| A typical 80-foot PCA hose can easily weigh as much as 100 pounds (45.5 Kg). With the current hose storage systems the team members routinely pick up these rolled hose sections resulting in unnecessary strain on the back as well as a tripping hazard with all the excess hose lying around. Have these types of injuries put a kink in your profits? Lead to lost workdays, Lowered productivity, or created a mindset that hinders use of the equipment? BOOM-Air® is both ergonomic and OSHA-friendly; with its wireless remote control it maximizes operator comfort and efficiency and promotes use instead of serving as a deterrent. |
