The Model 8714 FloatingTM "Fly-Away" Axle Jack is a 65 ton capacity, two stage hydraulic jack designed primarily
for use in jacking main and/or nose landing gear of various aircraft. The jack consists of a two stage cylinder
assembly mounted on a spherical bearing (this bearing allows the jack ship adapter to follow the arc of the aircraft
jack point, thus greatly reducing the stress on the jack's cylinder assembly as well as the aircraft axle and strut), air
operated hydraulic pump with air relief valve and valve block and hand pump assembly.
Model 8714 is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, rugged use and to provide many years of
continuous service. Our customers are guaranteed a quality product with each purchase and are assured of our
continued product support whenever and wherever the need arises.
