Aircraft Transport and Recovery System

Goldhofer Minor Aircraft Damage is an aircraft transport and recovery system designed to safely relocate aircraft that have sustained minor landing gear or tyre damage. The system enables the rapid removal of aircraft from the runway or apron when they are no longer able to move under their own power due to a technical fault. This reduces runway closure time, prevents flight delays, and ensures continuity of airport operations. The system is part of the Goldhofer ARTS (Aircraft Recovery and Transport System) product line.
