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.

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!

Other than the high cost - the jack works great! Very nice solution. Mechanics that saw it in my hangar as we did some tire work on my plane were also big fans and wanted to know how to acquire one.
