Aircraft Hydraulic Jacks FAQs

Q: What types of hydraulic jacks are used to lift aircraft?
A: Aircraft are lifted using tripod jacks for single landing gear point support, axle jacks for wheel and brake changes, and wide-base floor jacks for belly or fuselage support. Tripod jacks are the standard for full aircraft jacking operations and must be rated for the aircraft's jacking pad loads as defined in the maintenance manual.

Q: How do you select the correct jack capacity for aircraft maintenance?
A: Jack capacity must equal or exceed the maximum load at the aircraft's jacking point, defined in the aircraft maintenance manual. Light aircraft may require jacks rated from 3 to 10 tons. Business jets and regional turboprops typically require 15 to 25 ton capacity. Large transport aircraft require jacks rated well beyond 25 tons.
Q: What safety precautions are required when jacking an aircraft?
A: Before jacking, review the AMM for jack point locations and procedures. Install landing gear safety pins and wing or tail stands as required. Jack on level, stable ground only. Never leave a jacked aircraft unattended. Follow the AMM sequence for raising and lowering to avoid imbalanced loading.
Q: What is the difference between an axle jack and a tripod jack?
A: An axle jack supports the weight of a single wheel and axle for tire or brake changes at relatively low height. A tripod jack supports the full aircraft weight at a designated jacking pad and extends to the height required for landing gear maintenance. Tripod jacks are rated for higher loads and greater lift height than axle jacks.
Q: How often do aircraft hydraulic jacks need to be inspected?
A: Aircraft jacks used in certificated maintenance must be inspected and maintained per the manufacturer's schedule. Most programs require annual inspection, hydraulic seal checks, and load testing at defined intervals. Jacks showing hydraulic leaks, damaged load cells, or structural damage must be removed from service.
Q: How do I choose the right hydraulic jack for my aircraft maintenance operation?
A: Refer to the aircraft's AMM for minimum jack capacity at each jack point and maximum extension height requirements. Confirm the jack's saddle style is compatible with the aircraft's jacking pad fittings. Portability and compatibility with tail stands are also practical considerations for shop and line maintenance operations.
