The Versatile Multi-Purpose Adjustable Maintenance Platform
The All Purpose Access Stands Multi-Purpose Adjustable Maintenance Platform provides precision access for aircraft maintenance. This foundational system is engineered to provide safe, efficient, and versatile access across critical areas of an aircraft. This sturdy work platform is a paramount solution for maintenance, inspection, and repair tasks, minimizing downtime while maximizing technician safety and productivity.
Precision Height Control and Stability
Designed for versatility, the platform features a highly customizable, height-adjustable main deck. This flexibility allows technicians to achieve the ideal working height for a range of aircraft types and specific maintenance requirements. The incremental high locking system ensures stability and precision, accommodating different access elevations smoothly and securely.
Targeted Rotor and Engine Access with the Multi-Purpose Adjustable Maintenance Platform
A primary function of this platform is facilitating safe and efficient access to the main rotor and engine areas of rotary-wing aircraft, where precise and stable positioning is paramount. The platform’s design supports personnel working in these confined and complex spaces, ensuring they can execute detailed inspection and servicing tasks with confidence.
Innovative Windscreen and Nose Contouring
Beyond engine and rotor access, this system excels in providing specialized access to the windscreen area. The design incorporates a unique height-adjustable platform coupled with an autolocking slider system. Innovative features include a slider mechanism that allows the leading edge profile of the platform to be precisely contoured to fit the varying multi-nose shapes of different aircraft.
This custom contouring eliminates dangerous gaps and ensures a close, stable working environment right up to the fuselage. Complementing this feature is the protective foam on leading edges, specifically the EVA foam fender, which shields the aircraft skin and sensitive components from damage during positioning and use.
Integrated Safety and Guardrail Systems
Safety and operational efficiency are integrated into every feature. The platform is equipped with telescopic guardrails designed to eliminate gaps, providing continuous fall protection around the work area. These guardrails, along with adjustable sliding planks, are operated independently and utilize an autolocking mechanism, allowing quick and secure configuration tailored to the specific maintenance envelope. Stair access ensures easy entry and exit, complete with a self-closing gate for continuous security while the platform is in use.
Maneuverability across the hangar floor or apron is effortless due to the inclusion of heavy-duty, fully braked 200mm swivel castors. Once positioned, stability is guaranteed. For enhanced rigidity and stability, wind-down jacks are available as an optional extra, providing solid contact with the floor. The platform also features a tool tray for immediate accessibility to necessary equipment, streamlining the maintenance process.
Controlled Height Adjustment on the Multi-Purpose Adjustable Maintenance Platform
Further bolstering safety and control is the integrated manual winch, which is auto-braked for reliable height adjustment. This allows a single technician to smoothly and safely raise or lower the platform to the precise working height required for tasks such as detailed windscreen servicing or accessing upper fuselage panels.
