TJ Tripod Jacks

Uncompromising Wide‑Body Lifting Solutions

RH Aero’s TJ‑Series Tripod Jacks deliver industrial‑grade stability and reach for modern wide‑body, long‑haul and next‑generation aircraft. Rated from 10 t to 55 t and extending up to 7.55 m (24 ft 9 in), the family covers a wide range of maintenance needs. Standardised hydraulics, configurable safety systems and plug‑and‑play electronic options let MROs, airlines and OEM flight‑test centres tailor each jack to their exact operational profile while retaining common spares, training and documentation.

Keyfeatures

Wide Capacity Band 10 – 55 t: One jack family supports every critical lift point on today’s wide‑body fleet.

Extended Vertical Reach: Up to 2 900 mm hydraulic stroke plus 1 050 mm screw extension handles deep‑gear wells and high‑tail lifts.

Dual‑Stage Manual Pumps + Optional Powered Drives: Rapid approach with coarse pump, fine control with high‑pressure stage

Triple‑Scale Pressure Indicator & Relief Valve: Instant load read‑out in bar/kN, psi/short‑ton and tonnes with integral overload protection.

Bore‑Honed, Hard‑Chrome Cylinders & Low‑Friction Seals: Precision machining and advanced sealing minimise wear, stick‑slip and corrosion.

Skydrol‑Resistant Two‑Part Coating: Chemical‑tough finish withstands aggressive hydraulic fluids and coastal climates.

150 % Factory Proof‑Load & Full Certification Pack: Each jack ships with proof‑load certificate, CoC and EC declaration for immediate audit compliance.

All‑Climate Reliability (–20 °C to +45 °C): Consistent hydraulic performance from Arctic ramps to desert line stations.
