FOD, otherwise known as Foreign Object Debris or Foreign Object Damage, costs the airline industry tens of millions of dollars yearly. Damaging engines, tires and various other equipment, not to mention personnel injuries. Ferrous metal debris in the forms of screws, bolts, nails and various other tramp metal can be easily removed by attaching one of our various Magnetic Sweepers to any maintenance vehicle or push tugs that travel around the airfields and terminals.
