Stinar LLC
G
2022 Product Leader of the Year
The company's modular chassis and wagon offer versatility
to ground service providers looking to utilize smaller equipment.
BY JOSH SMITH
round service providers at
FBOs and smaller, regional
airports have the same GSE
needs as larger operations,
just not to the same scale.
Stinar LLC supports this segment of
the ground handling industry with rightsized
equipment.
" They don't need a 350-gallon lavatory
truck to service two GVs. So, one
of our little 150-gallon lav and potable
water carts is a good size for them, and
it works, " explains Stinar CEO/CVO
Craig Kruckeberg.
However, he noticed this smaller
equipment was often being towed by
larger tractors. So, Stinar's team of engineers
set out to find a solution. The result
was the company's line of modular units.
Customers can place a potable water
unit, lavatory service unit, maintenance
box and more on top of either a modular
chassis or modular wagon to suit their
individual needs.
" The modular unit provides flexibility
to service providers in offering an
interchangeable service vehicle capable
of handling all kinds of different tasks
that ground service providers encounter
day in and day out, " says Jason Johnson,
14 || Ground Support Worldwide || May 2022
vice president of business development
at Stinar.
Stinar began developing the modular
units in the spring of 2021 and had prototypes
completed and ready to display
later that year at the International GSE
Expo and NBAA-BACE.
For developing its flexible solution and
presenting it to FBO, regional airport
and MRO markets in less than a year,
Stinar LLC has been named the Ground
Support Worldwide 2022 Product Leader
of the Year.
A Solution for FBOs
Stinar has a reputation for building large
GSE units, like passenger stairs, maintenance
lifts, vehicles for passengers
with reduced mobility (PRM) and more,
Kruckeberg explains.
But when he acquired the company in
2019, Kruckeberg entered the GSE market
with fresh view.
" Everyone wants to build the big stuff.
I'm seeing less and less people building,
what I would call, the basics, " he says.
Inspiration struck when Kruckeberg
was traveling through Florida. While
stepping off an aircraft, he saw one of
Stinar's lavatory carts being pulled by a
lawn tractor with the mower deck taken
off. If that ground handling staff didn't
utilize a large tractor to tow the cart, he
figured other FBOs may be looking for a
similar solution.
Identifying FBOs as an under-tapped
market, Stinar partnered with Polaris
and Taylor-Dunn Manufacturing
to develop a vehicle that its carts
could mount on.
