Bogert Aviation Tribal Jack
MFR Model# 30M-TJ
Overview
|
Requests from customers for a jack that could lift from as low as 2 inches launched a redesign to Bogert Aviation's old faithful Tribal Jack. Originally manufactured for the Piper Tribe of aircraft, Bogert Aviation's Tribal Jack has proven itself to be a great multipurpose shop tool for many aircraft models having oleo strut landing gear. The Tribal Jack is very useful for annual inspections as well as changing a tire or packing wheel bearings. Fixing a flat is easy with this lower clearance lifting pad. It can be used on main gear, nose gear and the tail wheel.
The pad 12-03536 can be mounted either right side up or flip the pad to add 2 inches of clearance. The pad can be mounted on all earlier model Tribal Jacks. Simply unbolt the old, bolt on the new. The pad makes fixing a flat much easier. Use the Tribal Jack with Landing Gear Support Stand PN 12-02015 for added safety. Note: All 30M-TJ Jacks will be shipped with the pad effective by April 1, 2012. |

- Multipurpose - Can be used on numerous models of aircraft with oleo struts or lift tail wheels for service.
- Quick - Changing or servicing many nose wheel struts or tires is a snap.

Benefits
- Pad only requires 2 inches of clearance to be effective.
- Pad design increases range by 33%
- Jack up in low clearance situations once and perform maintenance. No need to block and re-jack a second time in most cases.
- Lift the wheel in under a minute for servicing brakes, bearings and tires changes.
- Preform some services and maintenance on the ramp instead of using time to pull the aircraft to the hanger for maintenance.
- Lower risk by raising only one wheel a few inches off the ground, rather than the whole aircraft.
- For peace of mind, carry in the aircraft for cross country & back country operations.
- Stable on the ramp and unimproved surfaces.
Reviews
This is a great product. well built and does the job. I used it to flip a main gear tire because it was wearing more on the inside that the outside. Doing another tube or tire change myself will save me the cost of this jack and to have it when you need it is invaluable

Pretty impressed with this so far. Lots of option on how to use this. Plus there are several pieces that can be purchased separately to make it more versatile with many airplanes.

Looks like a great jack, however doesn’t provide enough clearance (without modifications) to jack Husky gear especially on skis.

Well built, but the bottle jack is consistent with quality found at Harbor Freight.

I am using it to Jack up a Husky A-1C with 26” tires. In order to avoid have the top lifting on the Husky cross brace, I had to drill two more holes to move the lifting holder higher by about an inch to provide enough clearance from the cross brace. With that modification the Jack works great
The Tribal Jack actually works, and it seems to be very stable.
The Bogert Tribal Jack was the perfect solution for a quick, safe, and easy tube change on my Piper Turbo Arrow. My mechanic that helped with my tire change already wants to borrow the Jack for the annual on his plane. Awesome product!

The jack comes with the pad.
Yes the 12-00838 will work on 235 with wheel pants.
This unit does not have a specific aircraft application chart, but does state it can be used on numerous models of aircraft with oleo struts.
Correct the yellow lift point has a slight v shape to keep the landing gear on the pad.
