SAM Aero - All Weather Aircraft Maintenance with Tangye Jacks

Solution: Hydralite Jack

Norwegian company SAM Aero relies on Tangye Jacks for 24/7 year round commercial airliner service and maintenance.

Leading aircraft maintenance company SAM Aero specialises in Line maintenance and Aircraft on Ground support at Oslo Gardermoen, Norway, Stockholm Arlanda, Sweden and Goteborg Sweden. Tangye Hydralite Aircraft Jacks are a vital component in the service provided by the company.

Operating 24/7 365 Days per year, reliability is crucial. SAM Aero uses a range of Tangye Jacks. For example, a 60 tonne Tangye aircraft jack with screwed extension is used for a wheel change on a Boeing 737; also a Boeing 777-wheel set, showing how the compact Tangye Hydralite can tackle the largest job. These lightweight and easily portable jacks can lift, lower, maneuver and position heavy loads with minimum effort and maximum safety.
