Tangye Rises to the Challenge!
Case Study - THE F16 JACK
Client: A design challenge came courtesy
of an Airforce operating F16 fighters.
Problem: To find a lightweight jack
capable of lifting both the nose and main wheel of F16
fighter planes.
Solution: Tangye modified a jack from
their existing product line. The base of a 20 tonne
Hydralite with a 6” stroke was extended and the
claw and ram were modified to perform the required operation.
Tangye Stays on Track
Case Study – RE-RAILING EQUIPMENT
Problem: To find an inexpensive method
of re-railing, which was highly portable and simple
to operate.
Solution: Tangye designed and built
a compact traverse base unit with carrying handles,
which accommodated a 30 tonne, 12” Hydralite jack
with a screwed ram.
