Tronair 08-2016-0000 Propeller Transport & Build-Up Stand for ATR & Dash 8 Aircraft

The Tronair 08-2016-0000 is designed to safely support and transport propellers during removal, installation, and storage for ATR and Dash 8 aircraft. It enables technicians to assemble or disassemble propeller components with stability and access from all angles. The stand minimizes handling risks by securely cradling the propeller hub during maintenance operations.

By providing a stable, height-adjustable platform with locking wheels and floor locks, the Tronair stand reduces the likelihood of accidental tipping or rolling during maintenance. Its welded steel frame and properly rated hardware ensure reliable weight support for heavy propeller assemblies. This promotes technician safety and protects expensive propeller components from damage.

No. Tronair explicitly prohibits modifications without written factory authorization. Unauthorized alterations or use with unapproved aircraft types immediately void all warranties and releases Tronair from liability. Only Tronair-approved adapters and OEM replacement parts should be used for safe and compliant operation.

The stand features a towbar assembly and swivel and rigid casters for controlled mobility on smooth hangar floors. When moving the unit, the propeller should be properly secured, and all floor locks must be disengaged. Once positioned, lock the floor brakes to prevent unintended movement during assembly or disassembly.

The two H-1142 floor locks are designed to anchor the stand in place during propeller maintenance or build-up. When engaged, they eliminate caster movement and maintain the stand’s position even under vibration or torque from tool use. Regular inspection of these locks is recommended to ensure consistent holding force.

Store the stand in a clean, dry area, away from corrosive fluids or high humidity. The casters and floor locks should be cleaned of debris before storage, and any exposed hardware lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion. Covering the stand also helps protect it from dust and accidental impact.

Routine inspection should include checking the casters, bolts, welds, and floor locks for wear or looseness. Lubricate moving parts as needed and replace damaged components with Tronair OEM parts only. Maintaining clean, rust-free hardware ensures smooth movement and long service life for the equipment.

Tronair provides a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, limited to repair or replacement of defective parts. Replacement parts themselves carry a 90-day warranty from the date of shipment. Warranty claims require prior authorization and a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number before sending items back for service.

The stand’s wheeled base, ergonomic height, and secure mounting post streamline the propeller assembly process, enabling technicians to perform tasks more efficiently and with reduced manual lifting. It also enhances organization by providing a single, mobile platform for both transport and build-up. This efficiency reduces downtime during aircraft maintenance.

PJi offers OEM replacement parts for a wide variety of Tronair GSE, including the 08-2016-0000 Propeller Transport and Build-Up Stand. When ordering parts, please provide the unit’s model number and serial number to ensure compatibility.
