Aircraft jacks specialist Allspeeds will unveil new lightweight and portable jacks at GSE Expo Europe in Lisbon
The new jacks include a 40-tonne model together with an enhanced 100-tonne jack for handling larger aircraft.
Designed and manufactured in the UK by Allspeeds, the Tangye range of lightweight, aluminium jacks are used to support aircraft axles during wheel inspection and changes. The compact, hand portable, jacks are designed to lift, lower, manoeuvre and position heavy loads with minimum effort and maximum safety. According to Allspeeds, they are especially well-suited to MLG (main landing gear) and NLG (nose landing gear) applications in busy airports where a rapid turnaround is needed.
Tangye Hydramite jacks with capacities up to 15 tonnes and Tangye Hydralite jacks with capacities up to 100 tonnes are part of the axle jack and flyaway axle jack kits typically used by EASA Part 145 approved aircraft maintenance companies.
“Tangye jacks are small and powerful which makes them ideal for busy aircraft maintenance engineers,” said Jenni O’Brien, sales manager, Allspeeds. “At our first GSE Expo Europe, we’re announcing an expansion to the Tangye range to better meet the changing and diverse needs of maintenance organisations.”
In addition to the standard range of aircraft jacks, Allspeeds offers bespoke solutions and designs, ranging from small customer-tailored jacks to much larger systems, which incorporate the Tangye range of pumps.
