KUNZ RLT - Rim Lifting Tool

Key Tasks

Safe lifting and movement of aircraft rim halves without wheel hubs (hubless wheel halves)
Automatic leg extension ensures optimal stability and load distribution during lifting
Interlock function secures the wheel half during transport
Maximum lift capacity of 125 kg

Overview

The KUNZ RLT has been purposefully designed for the safe and secure lifting of aircraft rim halves.

The RLT Vario version is equipped with a RUD towing eye and can be mounted to any existing hoisting device. While the three legs are retracted, the tool can be easily inserted into the wheel hub. Once lift is applied, the legs automatically extend outwards and fix themselves in position, ensuring optimal stability and perfect load distribution. The feet of the RLT are adjustable to accommodate different wheel hub diameters.

The RLT for hubless wheels comes into place to lift rim halves that are difficult to lift with any conventional lifting device. By perfectly fitting onto the rim and extending arms the RLT is able to grab on an securely lift hubless rims to any place you desire.

Precision Rim Handling – Safe, Stable and Damage-Free

Lifting aircraft rim halves safely requires more than a general-purpose tool. The KUNZ RLT was developed specifically for this task, ensuring that every lift is stable, controlled and free from the risk of rim damage or operator injury.

The automatic leg extension mechanism eliminates guesswork and manual adjustments, while the adjustable feet and interlock function provide a secure connection between the tool and the rim half throughout the entire lifting and transport process.

Designed for the Full Range of Aircraft Rim Halves

The KUNZ RLT is compatible with all aircraft rim sizes, thanks to its adjustable feet and self-fixing leg mechanism. Whether used in a high-throughput MRO shop or a lower-volume maintenance environment, the RLT delivers consistent, reliable performance and significantly improves workflow safety and efficiency during rim handling.

Two Variants Available:

RLT Vario: Equipped with a RUD towing eye for use with existing hoisting devices. Three lifting legs to securely grab the rim hub during lifting. Automatic extension of lifting legs upon application of lift.

RLT for Hubless Rims: Adapted to perfectly suit hubless rims. Extendable arms that grab onto the rim and securely hold it in place.
