Aircraft Tripod Jack
Tripod jacks are the workhorses of full-aircraft lifting operations. Their design includes a triangular three-leg base that distributes load evenly across the floor surface, a central hydraulic cylinder to provide vertical lift, and an interchangeable head that matches aircraft jacking pads. Capacities vary widely, from 5–15 tons for helicopters and fighter jets Like F-15 and F-16 to 150–200 tons for wide-body aircraft like the Boeing 777 or Airbus A350.
