The AT-802, manufactured by AIR Tractor, first flew in 1990 and has remained in production since, serving primarily as an agricultural aircraft but also deployed as a single engine air tanker (SEAT) for firefighting. AIR Tractor, established in Texas, is a leading name in the agricultural aircraft industry.
For maintaining this aircraft, a variety of access solutions are necessary. For the Nose Section (including the Windshield & Cockpit and Bulkhead), the Reach Deck Platform, Platform Ladder Warthog, and Cantilever Platform provide ideal access. The Modular Stepover Platforms and Super Trestle Scaffold are useful for general access across the Forward Fuselage (Cabin Access) and over lower obstacles around the aircraft.
For the Landing Gear (Nose Landing Gear and Main Landing Gear), the Super Service Stand offers close-range access for maintenance tasks. When working on the Wing & Engine Pylon (for Engine Inlet/Exhaust, Fuel Tanks/Pumps, and Undercowl access), a Super Maintenance Platform is first-class, while the A Frame Aviation Platform offers targeted height for wing inspection.
The Branach Fibreglass Platform, designed for electrical safety, is suitable for tasks involving the Tail Section (Vertical Stabiliser and Horizontal Stabiliser), where sensitive systems are often located. For the Middle Fuselage / Wing Box Area (Oil Maintenance and Fuel Tanks), access solutions like the Easyraise and Bridge Deck are indispensable for safe, elevated work. The Aviation Chock and Cone Trolley secures the aircraft during all maintenance activities.
