SIDE GATES (STANDARD CRADLE)
The Side Gates are attached to a slide bar on the rear of the Cradle. Each gate includes locks
that secure the gates to the Cradle in the required positions and secure the aircraft tire to the
Cradle.
The Side Gates have the following components:
•
Side Gate Anchors (1):
Secure the Side Gates in position when inserted into the Side Gate
Anchor Hole (2).
•
Side Gate Anchor Holes (2):
Secure the Side Gate Anchors to lock the Side Gates.
•
Side Gates (3):
Restrict sideways movement of the aircraft tire during towing operations.
•
Chine Protectors (

):
If needed, place these on the Side Gates to prevent
damaging the aircraft tire chine.
The Side Gates are normally left in their outermost positions to allow the aircraft wheel to pivot
on the Cradle, but can be moved inward when needed to prevent movement of the aircraft
wheel. See the
Aircraft Towing Procedures Manual
for information on using Gates.
