Tronair 02-7810-0111 – 12-Ton Tripod Jack

The Tronair 02-7810-0111 aircraft tripod jack is commonly used for landing gear servicing, aircraft weighing, wheel and brake maintenance, shock strut work, and structural inspections. Its 12-ton lifting capacity allows it to support a broad range of regional, business, and commercial aircraft maintenance procedures. Aircraft tripod jacks like this are also frequently used during gear retraction tests and extended maintenance events that require stable fuselage or wing support.

The 97” maximum extended height gives technicians additional flexibility when servicing aircraft with higher wing or fuselage jacking points. This increased lift range improves access beneath the aircraft for inspections, component replacement, and structural work. A taller tripod jack can also help operators support multiple aircraft types within the same maintenance facility.

The quick-rising center extension allows technicians to rapidly close the gap between the jack and the aircraft jacking point before hydraulic lifting begins. This reduces setup time and minimizes manual pumping during initial positioning. Faster setup can improve workflow efficiency during scheduled inspections and high-tempo maintenance operations.

The improved handwheel-style safety nut creates a positive mechanical lock that helps secure the aircraft once elevated. Unlike relying entirely on hydraulic pressure, the threaded lock nut adds an additional layer of protection against unintended lowering. This feature is especially important during lengthy maintenance procedures where technicians may be working beneath or around the aircraft for extended periods.

The 3/4" spherical radius cup jack pad helps maintain proper alignment between the tripod jack and the aircraft’s designated jacking point. This design promotes more even load distribution while reducing stress concentrations during lifting operations. Proper jack pad engagement also helps minimize the risk of slippage or instability during maintenance.

MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid is widely accepted throughout the aviation industry because of its dependable viscosity characteristics and low-temperature performance. The fluid helps maintain consistent hydraulic operation across a wide operating temperature range, including cold-weather ramp environments. Standardized aviation hydraulic fluid also simplifies maintenance support for operators using multiple types of aircraft ground support equipment.

The Tronair Blue powder-coat finish helps protect the aircraft tripod jack from corrosion, chemical exposure, and general wear associated with demanding maintenance environments. This protective coating supports long-term durability in hangars, ramps, and outdoor service areas. Maintaining the jack’s exterior condition can also help reduce long-term maintenance requirements and improve equipment lifespan.

Heavy-duty wheels improve mobility when repositioning the tripod jack around hangars and maintenance bays. Since taller aircraft tripod jacks can be relatively large and heavy, integrated wheels help reduce setup time and minimize strain on maintenance personnel. Improved maneuverability also supports safer equipment handling during busy maintenance operations.

CE certification indicates that the aircraft tripod jack complies with recognized European safety and quality standards for industrial equipment. This can be especially beneficial for international operators, MRO facilities, and government aviation organizations that maintain standardized equipment requirements across multiple locations. CE-marked equipment also demonstrates that the jack has been engineered with globally recognized safety considerations.
