The FOD*BOSS sweeper

FOD, foreign object debris, is anything foreign to the aircraft or abnormal to its operating environment, such as baggage tags and wheels, wooden chock splinters, tools, safety wire, GSE parts, pavement debris and catering supplies. The FOD*BOSS is a patented sweeper designed to collect FOD from large paved areas of the airport movement area, including runways, taxiways and aprons. Key points listed on the site:

• Towed by a vehicle at up to 50 km/h (30 mph) by a single operator, with no special skills or licence required
• No motor, vacuum engine or moving parts, making it affordable and virtually maintenance free
• Built from hard-wearing components after extensive research, field trials and years of operational use
• Each unit carries a serial number from the date of purchase, and FODBOSS-AFI extends the unconditional lifetime guarantee offered by the manufacturer, Aerosweep Pty Ltd
• Protected by several international patents

Manufacturer

Aerosweep Pty Ltd of Australia invented the FOD*BOSS in 1994 after more than ten years of experience in high-speed sweeping, and the system is used by airport operators, FBOs, civil aviation authorities and military services around the world. FOD*BOSS-AFI describes it as the fastest and most efficient airport sweeping system for removing FOD from paved surfaces.
