The Tronair 02-7953C0100 is a 2.5-Ton (5,000 lb) hydraulic aircraft tripod jack engineered to lift aircraft from the forward fuselage or main wing jacking points during maintenance, inspections, and ground operations. The single-stage hydraulic design provides controlled lift and positive lock at any extension height. CE-marked for compliance with European aviation safety standards.
Standard Features
- Hand pump with built-in pressure relief valve
- Threaded rams with improved handwheel-style safety nut
- Quick-rising center extension for rapid initial lift
- Easy-access filler/breather cap
- Heavy-duty wheels for easy maneuverability
- Hydraulic fluid: MIL-PRF-5606
- ¾" (2 cm) spherical radius cup jack pad
- CE marked
- Durable powder-coat finish (Tronair Blue)
Technical Specifications
- Rated Capacity: 5,000 lbs (2268 kg)
- Operating Temperature: −4°F to 122°F (−20°C to 50°C)
- Pressure Relief Setting: 2,500 + 250/−0 PSIG (172.4 + 17.2/−0 bar)
- Hydraulic Fluid: MIL-PRF-5606
- Jack Pad: ¾" (2 cm) spherical radius cup
- Finish: Durable powder coat (Tronair Blue)
Safety Features
- Ram Lock Nut: Prevents the lowering of the ram. The ram lock nut must be lowered as the aircraft is being lifted. Ram lock nuts must be kept within 2" of the stop while raising the aircraft.
- Lock Nut Retention Ring: Prevents the lock nut from being unscrewed from the second stage.
- Pressure Relief Valve: Prevents overload during raising operations.
Aircraft Applications
The Tronair 02-7953C0100 is designed for use with a range of commercial, regional, and business aviation aircraft requiring 2.5-Ton tripod jack support. Specific aircraft model compatibility is defined in the Tronair Aircraft Application Guide. Always confirm jacking capacity, adapter requirements, and placement procedures with your aircraft maintenance manual before use.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
At approximately 185 lbs, the Tronair 02-7953C0100 is easier to position and maneuver than heavier-capacity aircraft jacks. Its lighter overall weight helps technicians move the jack efficiently around the hangar or flight line while still providing reliable lifting capability for smaller aircraft applications. This balance of portability and lifting performance can help improve workflow during routine aircraft maintenance tasks.
The mechanical extension allows technicians to quickly bring the jack closer to the aircraft jacking point before hydraulic lifting begins. This reduces the hydraulic stroke required and speeds up aircraft setup procedures. Faster positioning can improve efficiency during inspections, wheel changes, and landing gear servicing.
The ram protection ring helps ensure proper placement of the locking pin and protects critical lifting components from deformation or premature wear. Tronair’s operating instructions specifically warn against incorrect pin placement because improper installation can damage the ram protection ring and compromise safe operation. Maintaining proper pin alignment helps preserve the integrity of the aircraft jack during repeated lifting cycles.
Operators should raise and lower all aircraft jacks simultaneously to keep the aircraft level throughout the procedure. Uneven lifting can place unnecessary stress on the airframe, landing gear, or jacking points. Coordinated lifting practices help improve aircraft stability and reduce maintenance-related safety risks.
The steel tripod construction provides the strength and durability needed for repeated aircraft lifting operations in demanding maintenance environments. Steel components help the jack withstand frequent use while maintaining structural integrity over time. This rugged construction makes the 02-7953C0100 well-suited for commercial, regional, and business aviation maintenance facilities.
Tronair recommends routine inspections, hydraulic fluid checks, caster lubrication, and annual load testing to keep the jack operating properly. The manual also advises extending and retracting the ram every 90 days during low-use periods to help protect seals and prevent internal corrosion. Following the recommended maintenance schedule can improve reliability and reduce unexpected downtime.
Annual load testing helps verify that the aircraft tripod jack continues operating safely within its rated lifting capacity. Tronair recommends testing the jack at 105% to 110% of rated capacity to confirm hydraulic and structural performance. Routine testing helps maintenance facilities support aviation safety compliance and identify wear before it becomes a larger issue.
The single-speed manual hydraulic pump provides dependable lifting performance without relying on external power sources. Manual pump systems are often preferred in aviation maintenance because they offer controlled lifting and simplified servicing. The design also allows technicians to perform aircraft lifting operations in remote maintenance areas where shop air or electrical power may not be readily available.
Proper storage helps protect the ram, seals, and hydraulic components from contamination caused by moisture, dirt, Skydrol, or cleaning chemicals. Tronair recommends covering the jack when not in use and protecting exposed surfaces with approved water-repellent products compatible with BUNA “N” O-rings. Good storage practices can help extend equipment life and maintain dependable lifting performance.
