With Hamilton’s custom hydraulic running gear assembly in command, the U.S. military can safely load [REDACTED] onto cargo aircraft.
We designed and engineered three assemblies that connect to the government’s existing ground support equipment.With our rig in tow, the crew backs the tall machinery up the ramp without scraping the roof or belly of the plane.
Here’s how it works. When the load reaches the top of the ramp, our assembly’s hydraulic cylinders lift it 7.5 inches to keep the haul completely level with the plane’s fuselage. A pivot axle rotates the assembly roughly 15 degrees while it’s pushed up the ramp by a massive tugger.
Heavy duty, 25-inch pneumatic tires keep the load from getting stuck on the Tarmac. And an auto-steer construction stabilizes the 6,000-pound equipment while it moves over rugged terrain.
As for the [REDACTED]? That’s confidential.
