Malabar 8844B Landing Gear Strut Service Unit - Dual Reservoir w/ Hose Reel - 884400B-2

The Malabar 8844B Landing Gear Strut Service Unit - 884400B-2 delivers hydraulic fluid and nitrogen to service both single and dual chamber strut aircraft landing gear. The Model 8844B allows quick emptying of used hydraulic fluid and nitrogen from the strut chambers, then refilling and recharging with hydraulic fluid and nitrogen, all without jacking the aircraft. Because jacking is not required, the time required to perform this important maintenance procedure is dramatically reduced.

This 8844B is a model which includes baffled cylindrical dual reservoir (8.5 gallons for clear fluid and 7 gallons for waste fluid) with fluid sights, fill cap, desiccant breather, strut vent system, drain valve and cleanout.
