Aircraft Jacks

Aircraft Jacks | Pilot John International

Aircraft jacks are used to lift and support aircraft during routine maintenance, repairs, and other ground operations.

Fixed-height jacks have a set height, while variable-height jacks have extensions added or removed from the legs in order to adjust the height. Variable-height jacks are especially useful for servicing aircraft of many different sizes.

PJi offers a complete line of new and used aircraft jacks for sale or for rent.  Our aviation specialists can help find the right aircraft jack for your flight department, maintenance facility, FBO, or airline operations.

What are aircraft jacks used for?

Aircraft jacks allow maintenance technicians or aircraft operators to raise an airplane off the ground in order to perform maintenance checks, servicing, or inspections.

Tripod jacks are capable of handling a substantial amount of weight, ranging from a few thousand pounds to several hundred thousand pounds.

How does a hydraulic tripod jack work?

Hydraulic tripod jacks are the most commonly used type of airplane jack. Each leg of a tripod jack has a hydraulic cylinder that can be extended or retracted to adjust to the desired height. 

The jack is positioned under the aircraft and the legs are extended to make contact with the airplane’s structure. Once activated, the hydraulic cylinders lift the aircraft off the ground.

How many airplane jacks are needed to lift an aircraft?

Depending on the type of aircraft you have, either three or four jacks may be required to lift the plane off the ground.

Most general aviation and business turboprop/jet aircraft have three main lifting points for jacks: one on each wing and one on the fuselage, either near the nose or the tail of the aircraft. 

Larger commercial jet aircraft typically have four lifting points: one at the nose, one on each wing, and one at the tail.
