PUT THE FOD BOSS TO THE TEST
By Gary Chaplin, President of The F.O.D. Control Corporation
I've been supplying the FOD BOSS to the US Aviation Industry for over five years now, and have delivered many hundreds of units that military and civilian airfield operations are using to effectively keep foreign objects off the ground. Our customers agree it's the best FOD Prevention Tool they have ever seen, and I back it up with our simple "Unconditional Performance Satisfaction Guarantee." Click here to read it.
ON THE RAMP, ON THE RUNWAY, OR AROUND
THE MAINTENANCE SHOPS THE FOD BOSS:
- Picks Up An Extremely High True Percentage Of Debris! In our FOD BOSS brochure I've written: "95% plus debris capture rate."
In action I've observed it's higher than that, especially on hardware, rocks/gravel, chipped asphalt or concrete - anything two inches or less in diameter. For these small items I believe the capture rate is 98-99%, but I am certain that overall it is 95% or better. (No matter what anyone tells you or puts on a brochure, NO Sweeper On This Planet is capable of removing 100% of surface debris. But the FOD BOSS gets you close.)
- Works Faster Than Any Conventional Sweeper - The FOD BOSS scoops up debris effectively - all the way up to our recommended top operating speed of 25 mph. (Try that with a truck mounted vacuum and see how much it really picks up! In fact, try it with a FOD BOSS demo unit towing right behind it, using our free test program offered below.)
And think about this: Why spend more of your manpower and its associated dollar costs to get this job done, when you can use the FOD BOSS and save the time and money?
- Is Less Expensive To Purchase And Operate - under $7000, and no motors, vacuum pumps, belts, conveyors, tires, etc. to replace or repair.
How? NO Internal Power Source. Why? The towing vehicles forward motion activates debris capture through simple kinetic energy and contact between the FOD BOSS bristle/scoop assembly and the pavement surface. Click here for an animated demo of how it works.
- In Fact -and I mean exactly what you read here: THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE - NONE. The FOD BOSS is easy to take care of - simply clean it out when it gets loaded with debris, and keep on sweeping. Other than small tracking wheels to keep it going straight, there are No Moving Parts, period.
- Leaps Into Service Immediately, every time you need it! - No special training needed - and it can be towed behind any aircraft tug, truck or even a golf cart.
- No Special Equipment - we include the adapter for all common types of hitches - pintle hook, ball hitch, E-hitch, etc. Just let us know which one you need.
- Top Notch Dependability and Performance - If the FOD BOSS is moving forward - It Is Working! The FOD BOSS picks up missed debris even when trailing a vacuum truck or just after a FOD-Walk is completed! I have proven it dozens of times. Watch their jaws drop when you pull this one off!
