The AM-2769 Engine Transport Stand is designed to transport, and/or, store the Pratt and Whitney GG8-2 Engine. The Engine Transport Stand is compliant with Pratt and Whitney Purchase Performance Specification PPS 1951 (Engine Transport Stand for GG8). It is capable of being shipped on the main deck of B747F, DC10, and MD11 Freighter Aircraft.

Integral shock mounts allow for truck shipping. The stand also adapts to a container (Pratt & Whitney PPS 1952 and PPS 1977) for ocean transportation. The engine pins securely into place quickly and easily.

The stand consists of an inseparable base and cradle weldment, with the base supported by four caster assemblies. Each caster assembly offers a 5 inch wide by 10 inch diameter wheel for easy mobility and a weight capacity of 5000 pounds each. Shock absorbing polyurethane tread wheels, position locks, and face brakes are standard. All four caster assemblies are designed to pin in an elevated position for air/truck transport of the entire stand. Towbars stow on frame when not in use. Maximum towing speed for entire stand (with engine) is 5 Km/h (3 MPH). Integral truck shipping shock mounts cushion truck shipping vibrations and
shocks.

The AM-2769 Stand consists of a steel welded frame with integral shock mounts to dampen ground handling shocks and vibrations. Removable engine ground handling mounts compatible with the GG8-2 Engine are also provided. Tubular arms support the engine handling mounts. Retractable shock absorbing casters are included with stand.
