Landing gear that, it is claimed, can be raised or lowered within a few seconds as against a few minutes with conventional landing gear, is now marketed by Ross and Bonnyman (Engineering). Two models are available: one has a screw adjustment as in conventional landing gear and the other, with no adjustment whatsoever, operates at a specified length to suit the customer's operation. Units can be supplied with gear boxes with a ratio of 37:1 and 66:1 and can be fitted for heavy lift requirements.
The snap-back action is operated by a patented cam action wheel which raises and lowers the gear into position, the unit at the same time being fitted with an efficient safety lock.
