Model 8 incorporates two knobs on the main
column. Top knob locks the inner column to the base. Lower sliding knob
allows gas spring position to be secured at any height so that a preferred
working position is retained between usages. |
Robust pivot design for Model 8 includes
Belville springs to provide ergonomic pivot tension and zero freeplay. Parts
are smooth contoured by CNC profiling. Saddle stop design employs eccentric
cam for secure one-time adjustment. Provided hex key may be used as
positioning lever while making adjustment. |
Trailing edge keeper drops into a concentric
square tube and is secured with a rubberized knob to hold wing tightly in
the saddle. (shown with standard keeper) |
Third wheel into receiver socket. Adjustable
drag feature on third wheel axle bolt insures that Wing Rigger remains in
position when operating on sloping terrain. (Flat Free Wheels Standard) |
Three wheel configuration rolls on all
terrain. No need to deploy and retract a swivel stand. Big wheels won't
catch on tie-down cables. Sturdy sliding axle makes lateral adjustment a
breeze. (Shown with standard trailing edge keeper and Standard flat free
polyurethane wheels. |
Upper knob sandwich clamps the self centering
aluminum nut block to the telescoping inner column providing security while
transporting a wing. |
New Push Plate makes securing the trailing
edge keeper a breeze. One-time setup for clamping force by adjustable bolt
slot. |
Hex key has it's own storage position holes
in plastic end caps. Tool can be used for quick removal of wheels if Wing Rigger
stowage needs should dictate wheel removal for optimal compactness. |
New for model 8 - Unique internal axle
locking sleeve provides solid clamping action for the sliding axle with
modest twist of knob (external view right pictures). |
Short hanger tube welded to the main column
provides a handy auxillary storage position for the trailing edge keeper. |
Hard chrome axle shaft slides in new linear
ball bearings for easy lateral adjustment. The hardened chrome shaft is
impervious to scratches and damage. Locking knob secures the axle at
desired position. Optional axle clamp. |
Linear ball bearings differ from ordinary
ball bearings in that bearing balls circulate axially in five lengthwise
tracks. This new bearing technology results in super smooth sliding
action. Linear ball bearings have gained acceptance in all manner of
industrial machines requiring linear slide motion. Bearings include
built-in end wipers to keep dirt out. |
