Tribal Jack Pad

Requests from customers for a jack that could lift from as low as 2 inches launched a redesign to Bogert Aviation's old faithful Tribal Jack.  Originally manufactured for the Piper Tribe of aircraft, Bogert Aviation's Tribal Jack has proven itself to be a great multipurpose shop tool for many aircraft models having oleo strut landing gear. The Tribal Jack is very useful for annual inspections as well as changing a tire or packing wheel bearings. Fixing a flat is easy with the ‘new’ lower clearance lifting pad. It can be used on main gear, nose gear and the tail wheel.

The new pad design can be mounted either right side up or flip the pad to add 2 inches of clearance. The new pad can be mounted on all earlier model Tribal Jacks. Simply unbolt the old, bolt on the new. The new pad makes fixing a flat much easier.

Use the Tribal Jack with Landing Gear Support Stand (PN17M-LGSS) for added safety. Please watch our video to see it in action.

Note: All 30M-TJ Jacks will be shipped with this pad effective by April 1, 2012.
