Flights Control Cart

The Flight Controls Cart is a heavy duty cart built to support, transport, and rotate a 20 foot flight control surface like a wing flap. The modular aluminum frame lets one operator crank the part up to 30 degrees using a sealed, corrosion resistant gearbox, so the surface can be positioned for finishing, inspection, or installation without separate lifting equipment. Locking casters hold it steady in place, and reinforced dual fork tubes let two forklift operators move the whole cart as a unit.

Features

  • Rotating Support Frame: Hand crank driven, sealed high reduction gearbox rotates the part smoothly on corrosion resistant bearings and shafting.

  • 30 Degree Hard Stops: Built-in stops limit rotation travel to 30 degrees on each side for safe, repeatable positioning.

  • Dual Forklift Tubes: The frame is reinforced with two sets of fork tubes (36″ on center) so two operators can lift and move the cart together.

  • Heavy-duty locking casters: Smooth mobility with secure locking for stable positioning during use.

  • Spring Retractable Tow Hook: Lets the cart be towed into place and stowed out of the way when not needed.

  • Pin in Place Support Arms: Arms lock into the horizontal position for safe transport.

  • Washdown Safe Components: Bearings, shafting, and couplings are corrosion resistant, with a safety cover over the rotating assembly.

  • Cam Lock Straps: Secure the part to the support arms during transport and rotation (strap details TBD on prototype, not included with cart).
