power bogie          service stand

   This large spider shaped cradle suspends a 9 ton power bogie at an ergonomic height allowing work to be performed above and below simultaneously.  This jig holds the assembly stationary instead of trying to work under while it swings side to side.  Also as components are removed this jig holds the assembly level making it easier to align large heavy components with jacks or hoists.  It is also capable of holding the truck inverted for easier weld inspections and service.  It will hold both truck or trailer bogies.
