Tronair 02-7899C0100 – 12-Ton Tripod Jack

The 24,000-lb lifting capacity allows the Tronair 02-7899C0100 aircraft tripod jack to support a wide range of commercial, regional, and business aircraft maintenance applications. This capacity range makes the jack suitable for procedures such as landing gear servicing, tire replacement, aircraft weighing, and structural inspections. Higher-capacity tripod jacks also help maintenance teams safely support heavier aircraft sections while maintaining proper stability during lifting operations.

Aircraft tripod jacks are designed to distribute loads safely at approved fuselage or wing jacking points during maintenance procedures. Unlike axle jacks, tripod jacks can help lift larger portions of the aircraft, making them ideal for landing gear swings, structural inspections, and leveling operations. Their wide-base design also helps improve stability while technicians work beneath or around the aircraft.

The quick-rising center extension helps technicians rapidly position the jack close to the aircraft jacking point before hydraulic lifting begins. This reduces the number of manual pump strokes required during initial setup and helps speed up aircraft positioning procedures. Faster setup can improve workflow efficiency in busy hangars, maintenance facilities, and line service environments.

The 3/4" spherical radius cup jack pad helps improve contact alignment between the jack and approved aircraft lifting points. Proper pad engagement helps distribute lifting forces more evenly and reduces the risk of slippage or uneven loading during maintenance. This design also supports compatibility with many aircraft jacking adapters used throughout the aviation industry.

Heavy-duty wheels allow the Tronair 02-7899C0100 tripod jack to be repositioned more easily around the hangar or ramp. Improved mobility can help maintenance crews move the jack efficiently between aircraft or maintenance bays without requiring additional transport equipment. This feature is especially valuable during large maintenance projects involving multiple lifting points.

The ram lock nut serves as a critical mechanical safety device that helps prevent unintended lowering while the aircraft is elevated. Tronair instructs operators to keep the lock nut within 2” of the stop while lifting to maintain proper load support throughout the operation. Mechanical locking systems provide an additional layer of protection beyond the hydraulic system alone.

MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid is widely used throughout the aviation industry because of its dependable low-temperature performance and compatibility with aviation hydraulic systems. Using a standard aviation-approved fluid can simplify maintenance procedures and fluid management across ground support equipment fleets. The fluid also supports reliable hydraulic performance across the jack’s operating temperature range of -4°F to 122°F.

The durable powder-coat finish helps protect the tripod jack from corrosion, exposure to hydraulic fluid, and general wear in aviation maintenance environments. Protective coatings are especially important for equipment regularly exposed to moisture, chemicals, and outdoor ramp conditions. A high-quality finish can also help extend service life while maintaining a professional appearance in hangar operations.

CE marking indicates that the Tronair 02-7899C0100 complies with European machinery safety and operational standards. For international operators, repair stations, and aviation service providers, CE-certified equipment may help support regulatory compliance and standardized safety practices. This certification also reflects Tronair’s focus on manufacturing aircraft maintenance equipment that meets globally recognized safety requirements.

Aircraft tripod jacks should be visually inspected before each use for hydraulic leaks, worn seals, cracked welds, bent components, or damaged safety hardware. Operators should also verify hydraulic fluid levels and confirm that the ram lock nuts and pressure relief systems function properly before lifting an aircraft. Regular preventative maintenance and scheduled load testing help support long-term reliability and safe aircraft jacking operations.
