Hangar Tools was founded by Ton van Bussel and Rob Mus, two passionate aviators with a sharp eye for precision and a background in business beyond the cockpit.
When fellow pilots called for smarter hangar solutions, they stepped up. What began as a request to build a helicopter dolly quickly evolved. The next mission: a space-saving hangar lift. The result? A robust, field-tested system that exceeded expectations and sparked demand across the aviation community.
Hangar Tools was born out of this momentum: forged by pilots, for pilots. Every product reflects our operational mindset, efficient, reliable, and built to last.
We don’t just build equipment.
We engineer mission-ready hangar solutions. Expect a collaborative approach, tactical thinking, and hardware that performs for years to come.
Ton van Bussel, founder of Van Bussel Metaal, leads engineering and production from our home base. This is where every Hangar Tools solution is forged with precision, discipline, and the highest standards.
Rob Mus, based in Denmark,
commands international sales operations and client relations, ensuring fast, tactical support across borders.
Van Bussel Metaal is more than just a facility, it’s our command center. From concept to deployment, this is where mission-ready hangar equipment is built to serve.
