Unmatched Efficiency for H145 Dual-Level Side Platform Maintenance
The Airbus H145 Dual-Level Side Platform provides safe, efficient access for aviation maintenance. Engineered to seamlessly interface with the complex geometry of the Airbus H145 helicopter, this access system eliminates the instability associated with conventional step ladders and temporary staging. Its design is tailored to provide secure, comprehensive reach to critical service areas, ensuring maintenance personnel can perform tasks with stability and confidence.
Optimized Two-Tiered Access
The dual-level configuration addresses the sloping contours of the H145’s upper fuselage. This two-tiered structure grants ideal access for two distinct and vital maintenance zones:
-
-
Lower Platform Level: Targets access to the top engine compartment, facilitating routine inspections, component checks, and in-depth servicing of the power plant.
-
Higher Platform Level: Positioned to provide a safe working height for the demanding maintenance requirements of the rotor head assembly.
By offering precise and unobstructed access to both the engine area and the rotor mast, the H145 Dual-Level Side Platform supports highly efficient maintenance workflows, reducing downtime and enhancing overall safety compliance.

High-Tensile Construction and Mobility
Crafted from high-tensile aluminum, the structure achieves an ideal balance of strength and maneuverability. This ensures that the platform is light enough to be quickly repositioned by hand while offering exceptional resistance to corrosion and humidity.
Structural Stability and Cantilever Reach
Stability when positioned is paramount. The H145 Dual-Level Side Platform is equipped with wind-down jacks that allow the system to be firmly secured, compensating for uneven or rough terrain—a necessity for operations outside the controlled environment of a hangar.
A critical engineering feature is the substantial side cantilever. This extension effectively clears the H145’s skids at ground level, ensuring that the platform can be brought into the optimal working position right against the fuselage without interference from the landing gear.
Safety-First Design Elements
Safety and user comfort are integrated into every design element:
-
45-Degree Stairs: Improves balance and comfort for technicians ascending and descending compared to vertical ladders, especially when carrying heavy tools.
-
Treadplate Decking: Provides superior grip underfoot in all environmental conditions.
-
EVA Foam Buffers: Resilient padding protects the delicate aircraft skin from accidental contact during maneuvering.
-
Removable Tool Tray: Keeps indispensable instruments within easy reach during complex engine or rotor head procedures.
Durability is paired with practical movement features, including sturdy 260mm foam-filled pneumatic castors that ensure smooth rolling and stability during transit, even across transition points in the hangar floor.
The platform features a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 500kg, underscoring its sturdy construction capable of supporting multiple technicians and their gear. While manufactured to comply with stringent safety standards like AS1657, its modular design allows for bespoke adjustments to meet regulatory requirements for international fleets.
This dedicated H145 Dual-Level Side Platform is an indispensable tool for maintaining the operational readiness and structural integrity of the Airbus H145 fleet, ensuring technicians can work at height with total confidence.
