UV-18

The UV-18, specifically the UV-18A Twin Otter, is a sturdy, twin-engine turboprop aircraft, known for its Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capabilities. This versatility has made it a popular choice for military transport and special operations, carrying up to 20 passengers or 1045 kg of payload. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney of Canada PT6-27 engines.

DE Havilland Canada, the manufacturer, began its history in 1928. The company established a reputation for designing and producing aircraft renowned for accessing remote areas, starting with legendary planes like the Beaver, Buffalo, Caribou, and Otter. The manufacturer continues this legacy today with aircraft like the Dash 8s and Twin Otters.

These include the Reach Deck Platform, Modular Stepover Platforms, Super Trestle Scaffold, Ultraraise, Super Service Stand, Easyraise, Bridge Deck, Cantilever Platform, Aviation Chock and Cone Trolley, Super Maintenance Platform, Fibreglass Platform, A Frame Aviation Platform, and Platform Ladder Warthog. These products support access to critical sections such as the Nose Section (including the radome and windshield), the Wing & Engine Pylon area (including the engine and hydraulics), the Landing Gear, and the Tail Section (vertical and horizontal stabilizers).
