Aero Aviation Stair Climbing Chair, Portable PRM Boarding Chair for Airport and Aircraft Passenger Transport

The AERO Aviation Portable Stair Climbing Chair is the safe, comfortable, and reliable way to board and deplane passengers with limited mobility. It is purpose built for airlines, airports, ground handlers, and FBOs that need a dependable PRM (Persons with Reduced Mobility) boarding solution that works on standard aircraft stairs without specialized infrastructure.

With a compact 18.4 inch frame, the AERO navigates the narrow aisles of regional jets, narrow body aircraft, and air stair vehicles where bulkier boarding chairs simply will not fit. Automatic safety brakes engage on every step, integrated LED lighting illuminates dim stairwells and jet bridges for nighttime and early morning operations, and the ComfortStep system minimizes jolting on every stride. The result is a passenger who stays seated securely and comfortably throughout the entire boarding or deplaning sequence.

Engineered for high volume operations, the AERO supports passengers up to 350 lbs (160 kg) with a 440 lb (200 kg) total permissible weight. The 24V, 275W DC motor delivers continuously adjustable climbing speed from 8 to 23 steps per minute, letting the operator match pace to passenger comfort and stair conditions. The gas tight 2 x 12V, 3.3 Ah battery pack is IATA Special Provision A67 and DOT compliant for air travel, is not classified as dangerous goods, and can be repositioned across your route network without restrictions.

A Safety Chip immobilizer prevents unauthorized use, the single operator hand control eliminates the multi staff transfers required by traditional boarding chairs, and the rugged IPX4 rated build stands up to ramp, gate, and tarmac environments. Toggleable Single Step Mode gives operators precise step by step control during training or sensitive boardings, while the LED battery indicator and audible low battery warning keep the operator informed at all times. The AERO is independently pressure tested and certified by Berlin Cert GmbH at the Technical University of Berlin (Test Report P 08 166 MP) and meets ISO 7176 15 dimensional standards for mobility devices, giving your safety, compliance, and accessibility teams the documentation they need.

Unlike traditional aviation boarding chairs that demand two or three staff members and multiple passenger transfers, the AERO lets a single trained operator board a passenger directly from the gate or jet bridge to the aircraft seat. The result is reduced staff strain, shorter boarding times, fewer turnaround delays, and a dramatically improved experience for every passenger with reduced mobility. Backed by 2 year manufacturer warranty, the AERO Aviation Chair is the long term answer to FAA, ACAA, and EU 1107/2006 PRM assistance obligations.
