BOEING C-17 GLOBEMASTER III

Buffalo Hydraulic has been awarded a contract to design and build 62 custom load cells to accurately  determine cargo loads in modified C-17 Globemaster III’s.

With a maximum load capacity of 170,900 Lbs. and at a cost of  over $220m this massive jet has proved it’s worth in a multitude of tasks ranging from domestic fire fighting support, Katrina rescue & relief to ongoing missions of troop & supply transportation in Afghanastan & Iraq.

This project was very successful and was completed on a very tight delivery schedule along with extensive written detailed testing certification!

Our team is very grateful to Boeing – Long Beach for their confidence in our abilities and also to the United States Air Force for the following photos.

With custom load cells ranging from 1-1,500T capacity static &  1-300T capacity  in tension, from prototype to production, Buffalo Hydraulic has the ability to help with your next project!
