Aircraft Wheel/Tire Assembly Handling Dolly

Overview

The aircraft wheel/tire assembly handling dolly is specialized equipment intended to support the handling, storage, and servicing of aircraft wheel and tire assemblies in hangars, workshops, and MRO facilities. In the supplied image, the unit features a low-profile metal chassis, a reinforced upright frame, metal rollers beneath the wheel assembly, a restraint chain, a bottle-type hydraulic jack, and manual adjustment mechanisms. The wheel or tire assembly is supported within the retaining structure, while the lower rollers can assist movement and positional adjustment. The upper chain can be used to restrain the assembly and limit unintended movement during transport. The visible hydraulic jack and manual adjustment components indicate that part of the support structure is adjustable; however, the exact adjustment range and operating function must be confirmed from AKAM TECHNIC's final engineering drawing or datasheet. The dolly can be used to transfer wheel assemblies from storage to maintenance areas, support them during servicing, and assist with controlled positioning during maintenance operations. Load capacity, supported tire diameter and width, restraint system type, adjustment range, and compatibility with specific aircraft models must be established only from final AKAM engineering documentation.
