Wheel/Tire Capacity: Must accommodate wheel diameters from 12 inches to at least 34 inches, tire diameters up to 68 inches, and tire widths up to 26.5 inches.
Breaking Force: Must be capable of delivering a minimum breaking force of 60,000 lbs to safely separate heavy mobility aircraft tires.
Spade Adjustment System: Must feature a one-touch power/automatic adjustment system. This system must allow all four spade segments on each head assembly to adjust to the desired wheel diameter simultaneously via a single adjustment, ensuring equal pressure around the entire tire bead diameter to prevent wheel gouging (per T.O. 4W1-61).
Lift System: Head assembly height must be adjustable via a positive displacement hydraulic system to rapidly accommodate different wheel assembly sizes.

3. Design & Safety Controls
To comply with shop equipment standards (T.O. 44B-1-3) and ensure single-user safety:

Control Interface: Must include a remote control allowing the operator to adjust height, width, and spade positioning from a safe distance.
Safety Stops: Must include a hard-wired emergency stop (E-stop) button.
Loading Assistance: Must feature a U-shaped welded frame and include a positioning trolley and a ramp adapter to safely elevate smaller wheels.

4. Physical & Utility Specifications
To ensure compatibility with facility infrastructure and space constraints:

Electrical Supply: Must be fully compatible with 220/380/480 VAC, 3-Phase, 50/60 HZ, 7.5 KVA power.
Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU): Must utilize ISO Grade 32 oil and feature a minimum 7.5 HP motor, a pump capable of up to 5 GPM, and an approximate 35-gallon reservoir.
Dimensions (Main Unit): In the lowered position, the footprint must not exceed 110 inches (Width) x 74 inches (Depth) x 53 inches (Height). Total weight shall be approximately 4,000 lbs.
Dimensions (HPU): HPU footprint must not exceed 31 inches (Width) x 23 inches (Depth) x 30 inches (Height).

5. Delivery, Installation, and Training Requirements
The contractor shall provide a full "turn-key" solution to include:

Delivery & Hook-Up: The contractor is responsible for delivery, uncrating, placement, and full facility hook-up (connecting the system to local electrical and operational infrastructure).
On-Site Training: Upon successful installation, the contractor must provide on-site, in-person training for designated maintenance personnel. Training shall cover:
- Standard equipment operation and safe handling procedures.
- Routine, user-level maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Integration of system safety features with T.O. 44B-1-3 requirements.
