| When
lifting RV aircraft, special care is needed to assure safe and
damage free lifting.
Fresh Aero Aviation (a part
of The Steelebrook Group) manufactures lift systems for Grumman
small aircraft and is now introducing a motorized
"EasyLift" for RV 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 series aircraft
that will lift both tail and nose gear configurations with ease.
The Fresh Aero RV EasyLift
was developed to easily and safely lift each main gear and wheel
assembly without lifting on the strut. Also, a nose gear plug-in
crossbeam to lift RV nose gears is almost ready and will be posted
on our web site very soon.
The lift points for raising
the main gear with the EasyLift are the standard forged or stainless
steel tiedown eyebolts attached to the spar - a common and very
robust lifting hard point.
Innovative features include:
2
ton 12 volt
motorized scissors jack coupled to a robust welded steel support
structure with a 16 inch square 11 gauge base to enhance stability
Chrome moly ram and ram
guide with 1 inch diameter acme threaded rod for adjusting height
prior to lifting
Steel cup socket that
securely captures the 1 ½ inch OD tiedown eyebolts commonly used on
RVs
Optional
integrated caster wheels
on base for easy transporting. Just tip the lift and roll.
Remote
control cable length is 4 ½ feet from the jack and power cord is 9
½feet from from the remote control for a total power cord length of
14 feet. The power cord terminates with a standard 12 volt dc
receptacle plug
Hand
operated remote control includes integrated high intensity LED light for easy and safe
control of lift even under poor lighting conditions
Supplied
with a standard 12 volt dc power plug and an alligator clip to 12
volt receptacle adaptor. Lift can be powered by your aircraft, car,
truck, SUV or any stand alone 12 volt battery.
Tough
hammer finish silver/gray coating
Very
minor assembly required. Just drop in the ram and screw it onto the
jack pad cup. No tools required!

Attention
EAA chapters and RV Groups
If
there are several RVs in your chapter or group, you may want to share
the cost and purchase an EasyLift to service all your aircraft. This
is an excellent way to keep your individual investment low and still
enjoy the benefits of one of the best RV Lift systems available.
