KUNZ WheelLift

Key Tasks

Lifting aircraft wheels to an ergonomic working height for assembly and disassembly
Enabling two-operator assembly and disassembly with full bolt and nut accessibility from both sides
Safely securing the wheel during all maintenance procedures to prevent tipping or falling
Compatible with all aircraft wheel sizes

OVERVIEW

The KUNZ WheelLift is a specialised lifting device for aircraft wheels, engineered to bring the wheel assembly up to an ergonomic working height for assembly and disassembly by two operators.

With bolts and nuts perfectly accessible from both sides of the wheel, the WheelLift ensures comfortable, efficient working conditions while securely holding the wheel in place throughout the process. This eliminates the risk of the wheel falling over and causing damage or injury.

The WheelLift supports all aircraft wheel sizes and is available in different versions to accommodate the full range of tire dimensions. Optional equipment such as the specially designed C-Hook further improves process safety by enabling secure lifting of rim halves.
