Turntable unit.

The AMS Turntable is an invaluable tool for nose wheel collapse scenarios. Placing the turntable under the fuselage, with a suitable airbag positioned between the fuselage and turntable to prevent secondary damage, the disabled aircraft can be moved in the same way as if the undercarriage was still in place.

The turntable can either be mounted on the AMS sledge system if the ground is soft, or unsuitable for wheeled vehicles, or the flatbed of a vehicle. The AMS turntable allows the recovery engineers better maneuverability in confined areas.

The top deck of the turntable is designed to accept a standard 13 tonne airbag, 13 tonne lift capacity will accommodate the nose weight of most aircraft. Larger airbags can be used for heavier lifting capacities up 30 tonnes.

Because of the modular design concept of all AMS equipment, the turntable can be bolted directly to an AMS sledge, eliminating the use of extra slings and complicated fixing systems. All Sledge systems are fitted with Turntable fixing points. The turntable system has been proven many times in actual recovery situations.
