Tronair 02-0536C0110 – 5-Ton Tripod Jack

The Tronair 02-0536C0110 tripod jack is designed for general aviation, business jet, and regional aircraft applications where a 5-ton capacity meets operational requirements. Its adjustable height range and stable tripod base allow it to accommodate different gear heights for various aircraft models. Always consult your aircraft maintenance manual to verify the exact jack point and height requirements before use.

This jack includes mechanical locking collars for secure load holding, preventing unintentional lowering during maintenance. The wide tripod stance ensures stability on hangar floors, and the hydraulic system incorporates pressure relief for overload protection. The combination of mechanical and hydraulic safeguards makes it a reliable choice for aircraft maintenance operations.

For best results, position the jack so that the base is centered under the aircraft’s designated jack point, ensuring all three legs make solid contact with the floor. Use on a level, hard surface and avoid uneven or soft ground. Correct positioning and a locked collar significantly reduce the risk of load shift during service.

Routine inspection before each use is essential, including checking hydraulic fluid levels, verifying locking collar function, and inspecting hoses and fittings for leaks. Tronair recommends a more thorough inspection every six months, or sooner if the jack is used frequently in demanding environments. Following these intervals helps extend the jack’s service life and maintain lifting performance.

Yes, the hydraulic cylinder, pump, and related components are serviceable with standard maintenance tools. Tronair provides service kits and replacement parts, allowing qualified technicians to perform on-site repairs. To maintain safety and compliance, always follow Tronair’s service manual for disassembly and reassembly procedures.

This jack is designed to operate with MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid, a standard in aviation ground support equipment. Using the correct fluid ensures optimal performance, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with seals and hoses. Always refill with clean, uncontaminated fluid to prevent damage to the hydraulic system.

The locking collar is a threaded mechanical device that engages around the jack’s center post once the desired height is reached. Taking the load off the hydraulic system provides a physical stop that holds the aircraft securely, a crucial safety feature during extended maintenance procedures.

While it is primarily designed for hangar use, the jack can be operated outdoors if placed on a firm, level surface. However, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive environments may accelerate wear. Regular cleaning and lubrication help maintain performance in varying conditions.

When not in use, store the jack in a clean, dry area away from extreme temperatures and corrosive chemicals. Lower the ram completely, relieve hydraulic pressure, and engage the locking collar to prevent accidental extension. Covering the jack helps protect it from dust and debris.

Yes, Tronair offers OEM replacement parts, including hydraulic seals, hoses, locking collars, and pump components. Accessories such as jack pads and adapters for specific aircraft types are also available. Using genuine parts ensures compatibility, safety, and long-term reliability.

Yes, this 5-ton hydraulic axle jack can be shipped pre-filled with approximately 0.83 gallons of MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid. However, to prevent leaks during transit, it’s critical to keep the shipping crate upright and avoid stacking any items on top of it. Tilting or placing weight on the crate may cause fluid seepage, which could affect jack performance. Shipping the jack with fluid already inside allows for quicker setup upon arrival, but proper handling during transport is essential to maintain hydraulic integrity.

For King Air models equipped with standard tires, Tronair recommends using three of the 02-0536C0110 tripod jacks – two for the main gear and one for the nose gear. For King Air aircraft with hi-flotation tires, you will need three of the 02-7856C0100 jacks, again with two for the mains and one for the nose. The difference between the two jack models lies in their design and capacity to accommodate specific tire and gear configurations, ensuring safe and effective lifting during maintenance.
