A45

The Beechcraft A45, better known as the T-34 Mentor, is a foundational military trainer aircraft. Its design lineage comes from Beechcraft, a foundational aviation company established in 1932 by Walter and Olive Ann Beech in Wichita, Kansas. The A45 was initially flight tested in 1949. The U.S. Air Force began receiving the T-34A model in 1953, followed by the T-34B for the U.S. Navy starting in 1955.

This enduring aircraft requires methodical maintenance across all sections. Various access products are available to support detailed work on the airframe. Modular stepping units and platforms are ideal for reaching the nose avionics and windshield. Larger maintenance stands and cantilever platforms offer access to the engine components on the Wing and Engine Pylon, supporting oil maintenance and fuel pump access. For work on the landing gear, dedicated stands provide the necessary stability. Specialized platforms are also used for servicing the tail section, ensuring complete coverage for the vertical and horizontal stabilizers. These first-class platforms guarantee efficient access for all necessary inspections and repairs from the forward fuselage to the aft bulkhead.
