Abstract
A cradle for supporting an aircraft landing gear assembly is disclosed including a chassis for transporting the cradle and an arm movable between a stowed position and an elevated position with respect to the chassis. The arm has a set of clamps for securing the landing gear assembly to the cradle. In this way the landing gear assembly is held securely in the stowed position for storage and transport, and held securely in the elevated position for installation to an aircraft, such that damage to the landing gear assembly during transportation and installation is minimised.
