The Stanley V2500-D5 Engine Cradle is designed for use with the IAE V2500-D5 engines used on McDonald Douglas MD90 aircraft. The Engine Cradle is composed of the Cradle and Roller Shoe Assemblies. When combined with a shipping stand these components facilitate ground and air transport of the V2500-D5 engines. This manual provides operational and service instructions for the Stanley V2500-D5 Engine Cradle.

The cradle features:
· Forward and aft mount assemblies are included.

· Can be truck shipped as a standard size load.

· Hoist and bootstrap provisions.

· Roller Shoe assemblies are included in the –2 configuration which allow movement while on the engine stand.

· Removable mount adapters.

· Universal design can be used with a variety of shipping stands.

The Cradle Assembly is available in the following configurations:
· P/N 113401-1 Designed for a stand with rails 90” apart but does not include roller shoe assemblies.

· P/N 113401-2 Designed for a stand with rails 90” apart and does include roller shoe assemblies.

Note: Both configurations utilize the same component parts. The only difference is the presence 
or lack of Roller Shoe assemblies.

The Stanley Part Number 114800-1 & -2 Engine Shipping Systems are designed specifically for transportation ground handling and maintenance of IAE V2500-A5 Engines used on the Airbus A319 20 and 21. The 114800-1 is composed of the 114701-1V Stand and the 114802-1 Cradle. The 114800-2 uses the 114802-2 cradle.

The 114701-1V Stand rides on swivel casters. The casters may be mounted at either of two heights. The lower position provides one inch clearance for engine installation and removal and the upper position provides six (6) inches for towing. The casters may be stowed on the stand for shipping. The aft casters are equipped with locking brakes. The mounts for the cradle are shock absorbing. The shock mounts prevent unwanted vibration or shock loads from being transmitted to the engine during handling and shipping. There are twelve (12) tie-down rings located around the stand for convenience in shipping.

The 114802-1 & -2 Cradles provide forward and aft engine mount assemblies. They are intended for low speed (3 MPH [5 KPH] or less) ramp and hanger smooth surface use only and can be used with the engine manufacturer-approved engine slings or bootstrap hoists to install and remove V2500 engines. The cradles are equipped with four (4) pivoting legs that enable them to be used as a shop work stand. The forward and aft engine mounting supports may be removed to facilitate shipping and storage.

The 114802-1 & -2 Cradles utilize a turnbuckle system that absorbs any rotational stress that is placed on the engine. The aft engine mount of the cradles are designed to pivot thereby eliminating stress caused by rotational inertia. Once the engine is placed onto the cradle and secured to the stand the engine can be moved without fear of damage.

• Allows you to remove the Fan Case without removing the Inlet from the Fan case. 

• Designed for easy removal/installation of the Fan Case/Inlet.  

• The two separate sections roll right up to the Fan Case/Inlet and are adjusted to the proper height by rotating the handles during installation/removal.   

• Three separate wheels per caster allow the fixture to roll smoothly across uneven surfaces.
