Aircraft jacks specialist Tangye is set to unveil new lightweight and portable jacks at stand C68 during the GSE Expo Europe in Lisbon. The new offerings include a 40-tonne model and an enhanced 100-tonne jack designed for handling larger aircraft. Tangye jacks are integral to services provided by many line maintenance, ‘aircraft on ground,’ and MRO companies.
Manufactured in the UK by Allspeeds Ltd, the Tangye range of lightweight aluminium jacks supports aircraft axles during wheel inspections and changes. These compact, hand-portable jacks are engineered to lift, lower, maneuver, and position heavy loads with minimal effort and maximum safety. They are particularly suited for MLG and NLG applications in busy airports where rapid turnaround is essential.
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.
