Wheel Build-Up Stand and Wheel Assembly Stand (Brand name)

60th Maintenance Squadron/Wheel & Tire has a requirement to assemble multiple types of aircraft wheels to include C-17, C-5 and KC-46 main and nose wheel assemblies. To perform this task, the Government uses a tilt cylinder wheel build-up stand paired with a twin-spindle torquing system meant for aircraft wheel assemblies. The current torque system needs repairs and is inoperative. It requires upgrade parts. The wheel build-up stand in use has come to its end of life and requires replacement/upgrade. Without these units Wheel & Tire’s production is reduced to 25% of normal operation potentially causing supply chain delay.
