Bent River Machine provides various types of ground support equipment (GSE) for many Department of Defense (D.O.D.) applications. One of our customers for the past 15 years is a top U.S. defense contractor specializing in advanced aviation and smart defense systems. When they need tooling for new missile factories, they turn to us for help in designing, building, and testing handling equipment.
At Bent River, our unique GSE equipment tooling capabilities will give you what you need for nearly any D.O.D. application.
Benefits of Working With Bent River
While many believe that D.O.D. activities always pertain directly to flight and AS 9100 certifications, there are plenty of other applications where high-quality equipment and components are required to support these core defense operations.

Our GSE offerings include:
- Rings
- Carts
- Alignment tools
- Assembly rigs
- Cradles
- And more
To ensure the best possible results with our aircraft ground support equipment, Bent River Machine has the following certifications:
- ISO 9001:2015
