JACK LOAD TESTING AND RECERTIFICATION
Load testing procedures are used to ensure that the jacks meet specifications called up in the OEM manual and that they are functioning properly and can safely support the maximum weight capacity.
The load testing procedure typically involves placing a known weight on the jack and then gradually increasing the load until the maximum weight capacity of the jack is reached. It is then held for a period of time specified by the manufacturer. The jack is monitored for any loss of pressure then lowered and inspected for any signs of damage or failure, inspected and certified and prepared for return to the customer.
Benefits of load testing and proper OEM required certification include:
- Ensuring the safe operation of the jack and the safety of personnel working on the aircraft
- Identifying any defects or damage in the jack before it is used to support any aircraft or component
- Early identification of any potential issues or improper use that may result in costly repairs in the future
It is important to note that load testing should only be performed by qualified personnel, and all safety precautions should be followed during the testing process.
Most jack manufacturer indicate routine testing and re-certification at specific intervals. Genaire can provide tracking and notification of when recertification is due on any jack that is repaired or certified under our maintenance program.
Manufacturing
While the safety of the pilot is critical, the ground crew also need a safe working environment. At Genaire we design and manufacture a complete line of Maintenance Stands to take care of the ground crew’s safety.
All our stands are coated with chemical resistant coating (CARC) to protect the surfaces. Safety features include kick plates, positive safety locks, hand rails and bumpers.
Our three main stands are:
B-1 Stand (1730-21-805-2269) is a 3ft-12ft stand with removable upper handrails to enable the stand to be configured for use as boarding stairs. To stabilize the stand during use, integral screw down outriggers are deployed.
B-4 Stand (1730-21-805-1524) is a 3ft-7ft hydraulic scissor action type stand complete with easy access ladder. Features include removable handrails and kick plates.
B-5 Stand (1730-21-805-1525) is a 7ft-12ft hydraulic scissor action type stand similar to the B-4 stand with the extended height leg section.
This boarding ladder, with its lightweight aluminum foldable construction, features wheels to easily maneuver the ladder in and out of position quickly.
CARC paint protects the surfaces from chemical and biological weapons and the ladder has protection bumpers in any location where the ladder may come in contact with the aircraft.
Custom variations of this ladder have been designed for our customers to meet mission requirements, such as a double ladder for the ground crew to aid in pilot extraction from the aircraft and are manufactured upon request.
