  • Patent number: 11332351
    Abstract: A jack pad device adapted to transfer loads between an aircraft and a jack device for jacking the aircraft, and a method for jacking an aircraft are provided. In one non-limiting example, the jack pad device includes a jack pad body. A jack engagement portion extends from the jack pad body and is configured to engage the jack device. A first coupler is attached to the jack pad body and is configured to couple to the aircraft to hold the jack pad device to the aircraft.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220026205
    Abstract: A leveling device is disclosed herein. The leveling device includes a body having a body having front surface, bottom surface, side surface and a rear mounting support, the side surface having an aperture configurated to receive a spirt level and a front surface having an aperture therein for viewing the sprit level in the body and the rear mounting support having a first mounting surface configured to be at an angle relative to a plane of the bottom surface, and a second mounting surface orthogonal to the first mounting surface, each of the first and second mounting surfaces having at least one aperture formed therein to receive a magnetic coupling element, whereby, the body containing the sprit level may be magnetically coupled to a vehicle to indicate whether the vehicle remains level during a jacking operation.

  • Patent number: 11208025
    Abstract: A transport trailer and a method for transporting an oversize load are provided. In one nonlimiting example, the transport trailer includes a trailer. The trailer includes an elongated body that extends in a length direction and that has an upper base surface. A support assembly is configured to support the oversize load and is pivotably coupled to the trailer to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the support assembly extends over the upper base surface and beyond the trailer in a width direction that is transverse to the length direction to define a wide load overhang that extends beyond the trailer in the width direction. In the second position, the support assembly is positioned at an incline relative to the first position to one of reduce and eliminate the wide load overhang.
