Laser 8579 Transmission Support Arm

Transmission Support Arm

Developed by a time-served mechanic for Laser Tools. When combined with a traditional gearbox jack the patented Laser 8579 simplifies gearbox removal and fitting by supporting the gearbox from above. It does this by attaching to a traditional vertical gearbox jack and providing a specially shaped arm that goes up the side of the gearbox to give an attachment point to hang the support strap and chains supplied. Because the gearbox is hanging from the support it is much easier to manoeuvre both in and out of position. The Laser Transmission Support Arm turns a gearbox jack from an underneath support into a much more stable over the top support while still maintaining the ability to work from underneath. Patent: PCT/GB2021/052235.
