Airbus A350 Oil Check & Change Stand
Maintaining the Airbus A350—a modern wide-body, twin-engine aircraft—demands precision, speed, and uncompromising safety. This purpose-built access platform is engineered specifically for the A350 to provide secure, ergonomic reach to critical inspection and service points. It eliminates the risks associated with temporary solutions and conventional ladders, supporting safer maintenance practices and more efficient turnarounds.
Known as the Airbus A350 Oil Check & Change Stand, the platform is designed to deliver safe, rapid access for daily and routine servicing tasks. Its primary function is to facilitate engine oil checks and related checks essential to the operational health of the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. Given the A350’s height and engine cowl geometry, these access points cannot be reached safely from the ground. This stand provides the ideal working height and close-in positioning so technicians can verify fuel, engine oil, and hydraulic levels where physical access is required.
Purpose-Built for Rapid Daily Servicing
This platform is optimized for quick turnaround maintenance where reliable access is needed without staging larger docking systems. The stable, wide working surface supports confident checks and servicing at lower engine points and other frequently accessed zones—reducing delays and minimizing exposure to fall risks.
Adaptive Fall Protection and Secure Footing
Sliding guardrails provide flexible, heavy-duty fall protection that can be adapted to varying aircraft contours and multiple maintenance positions. A perforated deck enhances grip and drainage, improving safety in wet or oily conditions. Quick, secure configuration is supported by a robust 8mm pull-pin system, allowing adjustments without compromising stability.
Safe Access via 45° Stair System
Technician entry is simplified with a 45° stair access system designed for safe, controlled ascent and descent. High-visibility step nosing improves awareness and traction—especially valuable in busy hangar environments and during time-critical servicing.
Expanded Utility: Avionics and Under-Fuselage Access
Beyond oil checks, the stand is highly effective for avionics bay access and under-fuselage inspections. The A350’s extensive composite structure requires frequent visual checks for damage and wear, particularly around lower fuselage and wing-adjacent areas. The platform provides the stable footing needed for detailed inspections and for servicing systems housed beneath the fuselage, including environmental control system components (AC packs), antennas, and sensors.
Designed for A350 Height Challenges
The A350’s tall landing gear and large engine cowls create access challenges that demand stable, purpose-built platforms. This stand replaces precarious ladder use with a secure working environment—supporting sensitive tasks such as avionics inspections, nose sensor checks, and landing gear assembly inspections (including center bogie access on the A350-1000 variant where applicable).
Positioning for Wing Root and Elevated Service Points
Technicians often require access to the wing root leading edge and other elevated service points such as landing light locations that are typically out of reach from the hangar floor. The stand is designed for accurate positioning in these zones. Its hand-portable nature allows rapid deployment to other areas requiring quick access, improving workflow efficiency and reducing downtime between tasks.
A Safer, Faster Way to Maintain the Airbus A350
With sliding guardrails for continuous fall protection, a perforated anti-slip deck, and purpose-built geometry for close-in positioning, the Airbus A350 Oil Check & Change Stand is an indispensable asset for routine and non-routine maintenance. It streamlines essential servicing—especially oil checks—while enabling safe access to key areas such as the avionics bay, under-fuselage systems, and lower engine points. This specialized platform helps uphold the highest standards of worker safety and aircraft airworthiness across the Airbus A350 fleet.
