MALABAR INTERNATIONAL Aircraft Recovery Systems 80 to 100 Ton Systems for Emergency Aircraft Recovery Operations. Malabar Recovery Systems are suitable for most commercial aircraft. Each system includes multi-stage hydraulic jacks and air operated hydraulic power carts. Malabar systems provide the following benefits: Versatility: Since every recovery situation is different and unpredictable, versatility of recovery equipment is very desirable. Malabar provides versatility through compact design, low profile and “trackable” hydraulic jacks. Simplicity: Even though trained personnel should always operate recovery equipment, training opportunities are limited and the inevitable stress of recovery operations increases the likelihood of error. Recovery equipment, therefore, should be as simple and as “failsafe” as possible. Each Malabar jack is operated is operated and controlled from a portable console which incorporates a fluid reservoir, air operated pumps, hand pump, rapid advance valve, lowering valve and load gauge. A hydraulic fuse is incorporated in the jack to prevent accidental lowering in the event of a hose rupture. Portability: Ease of transport is essential both for air or ground shipment as well as positioning at the recovery site. The size and weight of the Malabar system provides easy transportation , saves time and reduces the possibility of structural damage to the aircraft when positioning and lifting. High output: Malabar recovery systems are factory proofed tested. The Malabar design makes it unnecessary to de-rate the equipment at lower heights. In fact, the capacities are even greater at lower heights. Providing equipment which incorporates conservative ratings is of even greater importance due to varying recovery conditions; adverse weather, unpredictable ground conditions and airframe stability. Compatibility: Air frame manufacturers as well as aircraft operators recognize the need for airbags as well as recovery jacking systems. Most manufacturers and airlines have concluded that both jacking systems and airbags compliment each other and both types of equipment should be readily avail

Malabar jacks are telescopic, offering high lifts with minimum low heights. The swivel base permits the jack to follow or “track" the aircraft jack point arc without inducing side loads at the aircraft structure. Jacks accommodate up to 100 US Tons at 10“ from vertical for models capable of 118 inches of extended height or 8.3“ for models able to reach 140 inches. At no load, built-in leaf springs retain the jack cylinder in the normal or vertical position. The swivel bearing at the jack base permits continuous lifting or lowering operations in most cases without the need to reposition the jack while...
