T4000 and T4100 Engine Trailers Winch Modification Kit

The T4000 and T4100 Engine Trailers Winch Modification Kit will be primarily used during installation and removal of aircraft engines for B1-B aircraft. The engine trailers are used (in conjunction with the appropriate engine adapters) during the installation and removal of the aircraft engines from various aircraft.

The winch assembly will be used to facilitate moving a load onto the trailer when the rails are in an inclined position. The winch assembly will include the following components: winch (with manual, mechanical drive mechanism, ratio box assembly), attachment bar, track, and overload protection device. The winch assembly will be capable of being removed from the trailer and stored when not required for daily operations. The winch assembly will be constructed of materials suitable for safe inter-operation with the engine trailers including world-wide deployable environmental and corrosion conditions encountered during indoor/outdoor operation and storage.

The specification consolidates the requirements of both engine trailers winch into one universal winch with two different types of brackets.
