Keyfeatures
Tripod frame with hard‑chrome hydraulic cylinder and low‑friction seals for smooth travel.
Manual safety lock nut, pressure‑relief valve and triple‑scale pressure indicator for positive load security.
Bubble level plus height‑adjustable ground plates ensure true vertical alignment on uneven ramps.
Tow‑bar, built‑in ladder/platform (tall versions) and Skydrol‑resistant paint for ergonomic, long‑life service.
Drive‑unit options: hand‑pump, air‑hydraulic or electro‑hydraulic, each field‑retrofittable.
Optional upgrades: EJAL synchronisation, electronic stroke measurement, laser targets, load indication & overload warning.
Highlights
10 t / 11 US‑ton nominal capacity proven across wide‑ and narrow‑body fleets.
Up to 7.25 m (23.8 ft) extended height covers everything from narrow‑body wings to A350 tails.
150 % factory proof‑load and >10‑year spare‑parts availability ensure lifecycle confidence.
Airbus & Boeing validated design with global on‑site service network.
Application Cases
Tail‑tip prevention during mainenance tasks and structual overhauls.
Wing auxiliary support when an aircraft is on primary tripod jacks
Stability for landing‑gear or gear‑door removal where asymmetric loads could stress the structure.
AOG & field recovery kits for rapid deployment to remote runways or soft‑surface strips.
Training & process standardisation—identical interfaces across tail and wing variants reduce training time.
