More Information
Summary:The purpose of this adjustable pin spanner cross beam tool design is to allow the Support Equipment technician in the field of Aviation Maintenance to conduct expedited repairs and eliminating damage to 12-ton and 25-ton Columbus-manufactured aircraft jack lock-collars. There has been an issue of severe damage and the inability to remove individual ram lock-collars in the fleet in reference to 12-ton and 25-ton aircraft jacks. This tool is designed for use and to fit all lock-collars of these two multi-stage aircraft jacks. The use of this tool also saves time wasted in attempted removals that have been documented to add over 60 man-hours for a single lock-collar. The removal of the aforementioned lock collars will be reduced to as little an estimated 1-5 minutes depending on jack condition with no damage occurring to the jack lock-collar/components when properly utilized.
