Tronair 02A7851C0111 – 25-Ton Tripod Jack

The Tronair 02A7851C0111 25-ton tripod jack is designed to support a wide variety of aircraft maintenance operations involving fuselage and wing lifting points. Common applications include landing gear servicing, wheel and brake replacement, tire changes, structural inspections, and aircraft weighing procedures. Its 50,000-lb lifting capacity makes it suitable for many commercial, regional, and business aircraft maintenance environments. Stable lifting equipment is critical for safely performing these heavy maintenance tasks.

A 25-ton tripod jack provides the lifting strength needed for larger aircraft while still offering flexibility for multiple maintenance applications. Maintenance providers can often use the same jack across different aircraft platforms, helping reduce equipment redundancy within the hangar. This versatility can improve operational efficiency for MRO facilities, airlines, and corporate flight departments. High-capacity tripod jacks are especially valuable when servicing aircraft with heavier fuselage or wing loading requirements.

The quick-rising center extension helps technicians position the jack closer to the aircraft jacking point before hydraulic lifting begins. This reduces the manual pumping required during setup and speeds up maintenance procedures. Faster jack positioning can improve workflow efficiency during scheduled inspections or unscheduled repairs. It also helps maintenance crews manage multiple jacks more effectively during full-aircraft lifting operations.

The threaded handwheel-style safety nut adds an important mechanical locking feature during aircraft lifting procedures. Once the aircraft reaches the desired height, the safety nut can be tightened beneath the load to provide additional support independent of hydraulic pressure. This added protection helps improve technician safety during extended maintenance operations. Mechanical locking systems are widely used throughout the aviation industry to help reduce the risk of unintended lowering.

The built-in pressure relief valve helps protect the hydraulic system from overload conditions during lifting operations. By limiting excessive hydraulic pressure, the system helps reduce the risk of damage to internal hydraulic components and aircraft structures. This feature also supports safer operation by helping maintain controlled lifting performance. Reliable overload protection is especially important when working with high-capacity aircraft tripod jacks.

The durable powder-coat finish helps protect the aircraft tripod jack from corrosion, moisture, exposure to hydraulic fluid, and general wear commonly found in aviation maintenance facilities. Protective coatings can help extend the service life of ground support equipment exposed to frequent use and varying environmental conditions. The Tronair Blue finish also improves equipment visibility within busy hangar environments. Long-term surface protection helps maintain both appearance and operational reliability.

IL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid is widely used in aviation maintenance equipment because it provides dependable performance across a broad temperature range. The fluid helps ensure smooth hydraulic operation while protecting seals, pumps, and internal jack components from excessive wear. Aviation-approved hydraulic fluids are specifically formulated to meet the performance requirements of aircraft-related equipment. Using the recommended fluid also helps maintain consistent lifting performance and equipment longevity.

Heavy-duty wheels make it easier for technicians to transport and position the tripod jack beneath aircraft jacking points. Improved mobility helps reduce physical strain when moving high-capacity ground support equipment across hangar floors. Efficient maneuverability can also help speed up aircraft setup during inspections and maintenance events. This is especially beneficial in facilities servicing multiple aircraft each day.

CE certification indicates that the equipment complies with applicable European safety, health, and environmental standards. For aviation maintenance operators, CE-marked equipment helps demonstrate adherence to internationally recognized safety requirements. This can be especially important for operators working in global aviation markets or supporting international fleets. CE compliance also reflects the manufacturer’s commitment to safe equipment design and production practices.

Before using the jack, technicians should confirm that the aircraft’s required lifting capacity, jack pad configuration, and approved jacking procedures are in accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual. The jack should also be inspected for hydraulic leaks, damaged components, worn casters, or compromised safety mechanisms prior to operation. Proper positioning on a stable, level surface is essential for safe lifting performance. Following approved aircraft jacking procedures helps protect both personnel and aircraft structures during maintenance operations.
