PA-18A-150

The PA-18A-150 is an agricultural variant of the iconic Piper PA-18 Super Cub, a light utility aircraft known globally for its versatility in roles like bush flying, towing, and agricultural work. Manufactured by PIPER Aircraft, this variant is powered by a 150 hp Lycoming O-320 engine. The PA-18 Super Cub traces its roots to the earlier Piper J-3 Cub and PA-11 Cub Special, first flying and being introduced in 1949.

PIPER Aircraft’s manufacturing history is foundational to general aviation. The company, originally Taylor Aircraft Company, was established in 1927 and became Piper Aircraft after being bought by William T. Piper. Piper built over 10,000 Super Cubs between 1949 and 1983, with production briefly resuming later. This single-engine aircraft has an empty weight of 930 lb and a max takeoff weight of 1,750 lb.

To support maintenance and access for this aircraft, platforms and stands are used for key sections. Access solutions such as trestle scaffold, modular stepover platforms, and cantilever platforms address needs across the aircraft. These are valuable for accessing the Wing and Engine area (including the Undercowl and engine components), the Tail Section (Empennage) for the Vertical and Horizontal Stabilisers, and general access across the Forward and Middle Fuselage sections. The use of specialized platforms aids in thorough inspections of the Main Landing Gear and Wing Box.
