At Cleveland Wheel & Brake Systems, connecting customers to quality equipment is our #1 goal.
Founded in his modest basement “factory” in 1936, Elmer VanSickle, a WWI veteran and former commercial pilot founded Cleveland Wheels & Brakes. By the late 1960’s the company continued to grow in size and popularity in the general aviation market to become one of the most respected wheel and brake brands in the market.
Growth continued from the 1970’s to the current day as the Cleveland Wheels & Brakes brand supports the global and military aircraft markets with millions of flight hours and braked landings on programs such as Cessna 172, Pilatus PC-12/PC-24, Black Hawk and Apache helicopters, Air Tractor 602/802, Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey, Daher TBM series, and Piper M-series. The Cleveland brand continues to grow today through innovative technology launches and investment in new programs and equipment and is proud that all of its wheel and brake assemblies are manufactured in the USA in its factory in Avon, Ohio.
