Alberth Aviation MM-3200 Mobile Aircraft Mule

No. The MM-3200 Mobile Mule is not compatible with the Beechcraft King Air or Piper Navajo aircraft due to their unique system configurations and specific pump design requirements. These aircraft require different support equipment than what the Mobile Mule is designed to interface with. Contact our specialists if you need assistance identifying the proper hydraulic mule for these models.

The Mobile Mule is compatible with many aircraft that utilize flexible hydraulic lines, enabling the unit to connect directly to the pump pad. Because compatibility varies by airframe, we strongly recommend contacting our aviation specialists for confirmation. Our team can review your aircraft’s hydraulic pump configuration and ensure the right fit for your maintenance needs.

Yes. The MM-3200 Mobile Mule is fully compatible with the Citation 560B equipped with the PW535A engine. This makes it a convenient, portable solution for hydraulic system checks on this model.

The Mobile Mule is designed to support any type of aircraft hydraulic fluid, including both mineral-based and phosphate ester fluids. This versatility makes it suitable for a broad range of maintenance environments and airframe requirements. Always verify fluid compatibility with your Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) before performing operational checks.

No. The MM-3200 operates exclusively on 110V/20-amp power. A 220V configuration is not currently available. If you require a unit for international voltage standards, please contact us for alternative options.

The Mobile Mule drives the aircraft’s hydraulic pump at 3,250 RPM. However, the GPM, PSI, and HP output depend on the aircraft’s own hydraulic pump, not the Mule itself. Because the unit turns the aircraft pump rather than generating its own hydraulic pressure, performance varies by airframe.

The MM-3200 is designed to provide hydraulic power for operational checks, including gear swings, door checks, and system troubleshooting. While it may not support every operational check on every aircraft, it allows many commonly performed hydraulic tests to be completed efficiently. Its flexibility makes it useful for both large and small flange-bolt-circle pump drives.

The MM-3200 can be used on the ramp and does not require a hangar for operation. Its portable case and 110V operation allow technicians to perform hydraulic checks in remote or outdoor maintenance environments. This convenience makes it especially valuable during AOG events.

No. One of the Mobile Mule’s key advantages is that no 28V power cart is required. It operates entirely from a 110V/20-amp AC outlet, simplifying setup and reducing the need for additional support equipment.

The Owner’s Manual recommends using a 12-gauge or larger extension cord, keeping the cord length as short as possible due to amp draw, and wearing safety glasses. Technicians should also ensure no conflicting RF-controlled devices are nearby when using the included RF remote and disable the remote when not in use. Always follow your aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance and safety procedures during operation.

Operation involves pairing the RF remote, plugging the Mule into the remote receiver, and setting the Mule’s switch to “Continuous On.” The unit is mounted to the aircraft pump pad before reconnecting the power and testing functionality. Full operation should always follow OEM maintenance procedures to ensure safe hydraulic system activation.

Yes. The Mobile Mule includes a Williams spline adapter kit. This enables compatibility with aircraft powered by Williams engines, thereby expanding its usability across additional airframes.

While the Mobile Mule requires very little maintenance, Alberth Aviation recommends periodic checks for loose bolts, annual belt-tension inspections, and strap/hardware inspections for wear. Routine care ensures consistent performance and long service life.

The MM-3200 offers a portable and stable method for driving the aircraft’s hydraulic pump during troubleshooting procedures. This allows technicians to isolate issues, verify component function, and perform repeatable operational checks without the need for large hydraulic carts. Its compact design and 110V operation make it ideal for quick-response situations. These advantages contribute to faster diagnostics and reduced aircraft downtime.

The unit’s light weight, versatility, and ramp-ready design enable technicians to perform hydraulic checks more efficiently than with traditional equipment. Its ability to support both momentary and continuous operation provides flexibility for different maintenance tasks. Because it eliminates the need for large power carts, it reduces setup time and logistical complexity. These features make the MM-3200 a practical tool for both scheduled and AOG maintenance environments.

Yes. The Alberth Aviation MM-3200 Mobile Aircraft Mule is fully compatible with the AP05V86-03 hydraulic pump (manufacturer part number 4202203) and is suitable for servicing the Hawker 800XP aircraft. This unit provides the required pressure and flow characteristics for testing aircraft hydraulic systems, making it a reliable solution for routine maintenance and troubleshooting on the Hawker 800XP platform. If you need assistance confirming compatibility with additional aircraft or hydraulic pumps, our aviation specialists can help.
