Tronair 02A7914C0110 – 10-Ton Tripod Jack, Air Pump

The Tronair 02A7914C0110 is specifically engineered for the General Atomics P46 Avenger, making it well-suited for heavy UAV maintenance and servicing operations. Its 10-ton lifting capacity provides the strength needed to safely support aircraft during inspections, landing gear maintenance, and structural servicing. The tripod design also helps distribute weight evenly for improved stability during lifting operations.

The integrated pneumatic air pump allows technicians to quickly raise the jack to the aircraft lifting point before making fine hydraulic adjustments. This reduces manual pumping effort and helps speed up aircraft jacking procedures in busy maintenance environments. Because the system is already built into the jack, operators do not need separate lifting equipment to achieve rapid initial extension.

A tripod aircraft jack provides excellent structural stability by distributing loads across three support legs during lifting. This configuration helps reduce the risk of instability when lifting aircraft from the fuselage or wing jacking points. The wide tripod stance also improves confidence during maintenance tasks that require technicians to work around the aircraft while elevated.

The 8” mechanical extension allows technicians to position the jack closer to the aircraft jacking point before engaging the hydraulic system. This minimizes the hydraulic travel required and speeds up lift preparation. Faster setup can improve maintenance turnaround times during inspections, wheel servicing, and other scheduled maintenance procedures.

The heavy-duty spring-loaded swivel casters make it easier to move the 500-lb tripod jack around hangars and flight lines. According to the service manual, the casters are designed to help technicians reposition the jack efficiently while maintaining stability during transport. The integrated foot-operated brake system also helps secure the jack during positioning and lifting operations.

The ram protection ring helps protect critical lifting components from improper locking pin placement and mechanical damage during operation. Damaged or improperly installed locking hardware can compromise safe lifting performance and potentially lead to premature failure. Proper use of the ram protection ring helps maintain structural integrity and safe aircraft support during maintenance procedures.

The CE hand pump includes a check valve that helps prevent unintended aircraft descent if the relief valve fails. This added layer of hydraulic protection improves operational safety during aircraft lifting and maintenance procedures. Combined with the ram locknut system, the check valve helps provide redundant protection while the aircraft is elevated.

Routine preventative maintenance is essential for preserving reliable jack performance and safe aircraft lifting capability. Tronair recommends checking hydraulic fluid levels before each use, lubricating the casters every three months, and performing annual load testing at 105% to 110% of rated capacity. The manual also recommends protecting exposed ram surfaces with approved water-repellent lubricants during long-term storage or periods of low usage.

Aircraft manufacturers and Tronair both recommend raising and lowering all aircraft jacks simultaneously to maintain proper aircraft balance during maintenance. Uneven lifting can place excessive stress on the airframe, landing gear, or jacking points. Coordinated lifting procedures help improve overall safety and reduce the risk of structural damage during servicing operations.

The 02A7914C0110 is designed to operate from -4°F to 122°F, making it suitable for a wide range of hangar and flight-line conditions. Its durable steel construction, corrosion-resistant hydraulic system components, and powder-coat finish help withstand the demanding conditions of aviation maintenance environments. The jack is also designed for outdoor storage when protected with a waterproof cover, adding flexibility for military and remote maintenance operations.
