AKAM 85 t Wing Tripod Jack

Overview

The AKA-1000 is a heavy-duty hydraulic tripod jack intended for aircraft lifting and support during maintenance, inspection and servicing operations. With a nominal capacity of 85 t and an operating height range from 2520 mm to 4850 mm, the jack is suitable for the specified Wing/Body and Tail jacking applications. Aircraft jacking operations require both adequate lifting capacity and controlled mechanical support after the required height has been reached. The jack incorporates a manually operated hydraulic pump with separate high- and low-pressure pumps in a dual system. An air-hydraulic drive with a pneumatic pump and maintenance unit is also provided. A manually operated safety lock nut provides mechanical securing at the working height. The load gauge uses a dual PSI / TONS scale, allowing the operator to monitor the hydraulic pressure and corresponding load during operation. The ground plates can be height-adjusted by threaded spindles and hand wheels, while the swivel castors are also height-adjustable. A bubble level indicator assists with correct levelling and positioning of the jack before and during operation. The hydraulic lift cylinder incorporates honed and hard-chrome-plated cylinder and piston tubes. The jack is finished with Skydrol-resistant paint in RAL 1028 for use in the aircraft maintenance environment. A towbar is installed on one tripod leg, and an aluminium ladder with a working platform provides convenient access to the manually operated safety lock nut. The jack has a closed height of 2520 mm, a hydraulic lift of 1860 mm and a screw extension of 470 mm, providing an extended height of 4850 mm. At AKAM, we present this equipment for aircraft maintenance organizations requiring a high-capacity tripod jack with hydraulic lifting, mechanical locking and clearly defined Airbus and Boeing aircraft applications. The specified documentation includes an English-language operation and maintenance manual with an illustrated spare parts list, a factory proof-load certificate based on testing at 150% of nominal capacity, and a Certificate of Compliance (CoC).
