Does anyone have aircraft experience with this type of product

http://www2.northerntool.com/product-1/200329001.htm

My question is... would they close enough to lift a 6.00-6 tires off the floor. 

  I have used them with automobiles and they work great but the diameter is larger naturally. The specs on these and others I have looked at always give a maximum extension,distance, but no minimum.

Yes, I know I should call the mfg. but it's Sunday.



Thanks in advance,

  steve

I can't answer your question. but might I suggest you could make a simple cradle bent from heavy gage sheet metal that could span the gap? If it turns out the minimum tire size is still too large work for your Kitfox tires this idea could work as an adapter. It might be tricky getting them under the tires.

 I have a couple of those basic car dollies that you have to jack a car up to place under the tire. They work well enough, but it's almost a 2 person job to get a kitfox on them. The 1st one is easy, but the plane wants to roll away when I jack up the other side.

Thanks Rex,



 "I have a couple of those basic car dollies that you have to jack a car up to place under the tire."



Yes, exactly. and not what I want to have to do. The 'gap filler' you speak of  is probably the solution and I can visualize what you describe.  perhaps even just a front or rear filler alone might work.



...off to the drawing board, and the scrap pile.



Thanks 

steve
