SERVICE

Our extensive experience in manufacturing is complimented by our service department.  Parachute equipment needs to be inspected and repacked on a timely basis, but that is just a small part of the service work we do.  Skydiving equipment tends to be built with lighter weight construction and materials for smaller pack volumes so it will be lighter to carry (therefore more comfortable), and smaller diameter lines allow for less drag at higher canopy speeds.  However some of the components can wear out prematurely.  New linesets are a common repair to todays high performance canopies.  A custom sized harness may not fit the second-hand purchaser as well as the original owner, so we can either shorten a harness or completely replace the old one.  Dropzone student equipment tends to wear out at higher rates because the students don't know how to take care of it yet, so their equipment is often in for repairs.  A small rip from catching your canopy on a fence, a hole or wear spot in the container, or worn out velcro, all require cost effective, quality repairs that we do well.  Small repairs can often be done before the next weekend.

Some manufacturers occasionally issue a service bulletin for a modification that needs to be done on their equipment already in the field.  We can accomplish this easily and quickly, at a reasonable price.

CUSTOM EQUIPMENT

We offer custom design and production of either single or multiple special items. We produced the “invisible” harness/container systems used in the James Bond movies, worn under the suit jackets/pants. We have experience manufacturing stunt equipment for movies, harnesses for rescue work, rappeling, etc. and we have supplied technical expertise to the movie industry for parachute related shots.  A special pilot emergency parachute system to fit a narrow seat back?  We've already done them.  Problem solving?  You bet.
