The Biggest Aircraft Towbar manufacture, Bogert Aviation Inc.
Posted by Richard Bogert on
The biggest aircraft towbar manufacturer in the world! Bogert Aviation ships more aircraft towbars than anyone in the world. It got that way by being the best towbars available. The famous Bogibars are built for more aircraft models than any other manufacturer and new models are being added as the number of aircraft manufactures and models grows. They are shipped all over the world from the manufacturing facility in Pasco, Washington.
Specializing in towbars for single and twin-engine general aviation aircraft, Bogi-bars are made for everything from the smallest home built to King Air class airplanes. Made from strong chromoly steel tubing, these are made to lock on and not come off until they are released. They have to be good for Bogert Aviation to offer a lifetime warranty with each towbar.
It is said that “necessity is the mother of invention.” That is true regarding the inspiration behind the Bogibar. When Bogert Aviation was a struggling FBO, a mechanic hand propped a Bellanca Citabria because the battery was dead. The airplane roared to life, lurched forward breaking two of its tiedown ropes. The mechanic could have been killed and several airplanes were damaged. It could have been disastrous for the company. All of that could have been avoided it there had been a tow bar made to fit the Scott 3200 series tailwheel. Richard Bogert said that wasn’t going to happen again. He designed and built the first tug pulled version of the towbar that would later be known as the Big Bogibar.
Hand pull versions of the tailwheel towbar followed for the popular Cessna, Piper and Beechcraft models. Let’s not forget the most produced homebuilt airplanes, the Vans RV series. If you have any RV, Bogert Aviation has a tow bar to fit it. Whatever it is, Bogert Aviation has a towbar that fits it or they will make one to fit it.
As an aircraft owner, these towbars are great values. They are incredibly strong and very light, easy to stow. They all extend to a comfortable length and collapse to make taking them with you very easy to stow in your baggage compartment.
