Product Description
Aircraft axle jacks are frequently subjected to significant wear and tear in today’s fast-paced aircraft maintenance environment. Most axle jacks are built to withstand tow speeds up to 5 mph on smooth ramp surfaces. Excessive speed and/or uneven road or ramp surfaces accelerate wear and tear on the axle jack. Axle jack running gear components (casters, wheels, towbars and undercarriage linkage), load gauges and jack cylinder bases are often damaged beyond economical repair even during the first year of operation. Labor costs and repair parts cost can easily approach several hundred dollars per year per jack.
