The Essential Access Solution for Fokker 70/100 Base Maintenance
The dedicated access solution for the Fokker 70/100 Main Entry Door Stand provides foundational, safe, and efficient access for comprehensive base maintenance. This platform is specifically designed for the structural requirements of this twin-engine regional jet, interfacing perfectly with the fuselage around the primary ingress point. It is indispensable for major cabin and component removal tasks, offering direct access for deep maintenance requiring entry into the aircraft’s interior systems.
Safe Removal of Large Components with the 70/100 Main Entry Door Stand
The stand’s primary function is to facilitate the safe and controlled removal and installation of large or bulky components, such as galley and chair modules, during scheduled base checks or modifications. This focus on controlled movement drastically improves technician safety—a core value—by eliminating the need for manual lifting, while also reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft’s interior or the components themselves. This focus keeps people safe and productive, demonstrating our commitment to Safety First.
Integrated Goods Lift and Advanced Protection
Safety and operational efficiency are designed into every feature. The stand features an integrated Goods Lift, manually operated via a winch mechanism, rated for a 100kg maximum load. This lift is interchangeable and designed for reliable, steady vertical movement of maintenance loads. A Manual Winch is positioned discreetly underneath the platform, ensuring clear deck space for technicians.
To maintain a safe working environment, all leading edges are equipped with EVA Foam Buffers, protecting the aircraft’s skin from incidental contact. The platform deck itself features Anti-Slip Nosing, providing secure footing for technicians in all conditions.
Optimal Mobility and Stability for the 70/100 Main Entry Door Stand
The structure is highly maneuverable, yet incredibly stable when deployed. It utilizes a combination of 200mm heavy-duty Swivel Castors for ease of positioning and 200mm Fixed Direction Heavy-Duty Castors paired with Wind-down Jacks. This system ensures secure, motionless locking once in place. This dual castor system allows quick movement into the desired location near the main entry door, followed by a rock-solid foundation for work.
Further enhancing mobility is a Retractable Towbar for easy towing and a Lever Brake system for immediate control. We find a quicker, cost-effective way, making maintenance Efficient.
Enhanced Workflow and Access Adaptability
Functionality is maximized through innovative features designed to accommodate the workflow of component removal. The guardrail system includes Removable Guardrail Frames, which allow for the clear passage of large aircraft components—such as galleys or chair modules—that are being moved on or off the integrated goods lift. Additionally, a Removable Front Panel enables straightforward unloading directly onto the stand or a temporary staging area. We solve real problems in smart, unexpected ways, embracing a Creative approach.
Leading Specialized Maintenance Tool for the 70/100 Main Entry Door Stand
While this aircraft model requires other specialized access systems—such as those for the high service door, high-mounted RR Tay engines, or the 8-9m T-tail structure—this platform remains focused specifically on the main entryway. It is the leading specialized maintenance tool for base access and cabin structure work. This focused design ensures paramount safety and ergonomic efficiency for all maintenance personnel engaging with the main entry access solution area.
