The Alenia C-27J Rear Wing Access Platform system is engineered for first-class, safe, and efficient access to the C-27J wing’s flight control area. This foundational maintenance solution supports critical inspections, repairs, and servicing of the inboard and outboard rear wing sections, specifically targeting the wing flaps and associated control surfaces.
The system includes versatile inboard and outboard modules. Maintenance teams can use these modules independently for focused tasks or join them to form an integrated, expansive work area. This modular design enhances adaptability to maintenance requirements and streamlines storage and transportation logistics. This gives you sound advice and support when you need it, delivering better access solutions.
Safety and efficiency are paramount. The working surfaces feature perforated decking, providing an anti-slip environment for secure footing and reducing risk. Fall protection includes specialized features like toprail and midrail sections that quickly drop down to allow close access to the aircraft structure while maintaining safety standards. A removable guardrail system allows maintenance professionals to customize perimeter protection for the specific task at hand. Safety is at the heart of everything we do; our goal is to ensure people arrive home safe every day.
Protecting the aircraft is a critical feature. Both the leading edge of the platform and the cantilever end are equipped with durable protective foam. This cushioning minimizes the possibility of scratching, denting, or otherwise damaging the delicate aerodynamic surfaces of the C-27J wing, safeguarding the aircraft’s integrity while work is performed.
The platform is built for mobility and stability. It incorporates four sturdy, swivel, towable 200mm castors, making movement around the hangar straightforward and requiring minimal effort. When positioned, heavy-duty adjustable jacks securely stabilize the structure, ensuring a firm, steady work base that eliminates movement during critical operations. For quick repositioning, a convenient drop-down towbar with a locking pin facilitates connection to towing equipment.
A key feature tailored specifically for wing maintenance is the integrated rear wing flap storage capability. This thoughtful addition allows removed flap panels or other parts to be securely stored directly on the platform during the maintenance procedure, maximizing efficiency by keeping necessary components close at hand and organized. When time is money, we find a quicker, cost-effective way. We keep companies productive for longer.
Further enhancing the operational environment, the platform’s handrails are powder coated red, providing high visibility for enhanced safety awareness in busy hangar settings. The combination of easy maneuverability, high-level stability, and critical safety components ensures maintenance personnel can work confidently and efficiently on the C-27J’s complete flight control area. The comprehensive design addresses the specific needs of rear wing access, offering an unparalleled level of safety, aircraft protection, and operational flexibility for servicing this vital area. This durable and high-performing system is an indispensable asset for reliable C-27J transport aircraft maintenance.
