Deice Equipment
 
We have two XL's and an Encore and need deicing equipment for the operation. We don't want a full size truck to store all summer long and maintain so we are looking at some of the gas powered carts. Only problem with this solution is we still need some kind of lift for the person spraying the aircraft. Any ideas? The typical scissor lifts have "slicks" for tires, so we are worried it will not perform on snow and ice.

Thanks!

Since both aircraft are not that tall, just an A frame ladder with 3 people should work.

We use a gas-powered cart and a standard A-frame ladder at our home base in WI. We operate Lears and Hawkers and this works just fine for us. For safety reasons this should definitely be at least a two-man operation.
