Increase Efficiency with the B787 Adjustable Windshield Access Stand
Increase the safety and efficiency of your Boeing B787 maintenance with our specialized B787 Adjustable Windshield Access Stand. This platform is precisely engineered to provide secure, accurate access to the aircraft’s windshield area. Maintaining optical clarity and structural integrity here is paramount to flight safety. The B787’s height and geometry—windscreens spanning 3.5 meters and situated 5 meters above the floor—require more than a standard solution. This dedicated stand directly addresses these unique challenges. It ensures technicians can perform inspections, repairs, and component replacements with unparalleled stability and ergonomic comfort.
The platform’s primary function is supporting vital maintenance on the flight deck glass. This includes visual inspections for cracks, scratches, or delamination, executing detailed repairs, and facilitating the replacement of the large windscreen panels.
The stand is also indispensable for accessing adjacent structural areas during scheduled or corrective maintenance, ensuring comprehensive upkeep of this sensitive aircraft section. By enabling secure, optimized access, the platform directly contributes to upholding stringent regulatory standards for airworthiness and operational readiness.
Custom Contouring for the Boeing B787
Central to this stand’s effectiveness are its highly adjustable features, designed to perfectly contour to the B787’s unique fuselage shape. The Adjustable Guardrail System provides a customizable, safe working enclosure, adapting to different maintenance tasks while minimizing fall risk. Integrated Sliders are key to this precision, engineered specifically to fit the Windscreen Contour. These sliders allow the platform to be brought flush against the fuselage, eliminating gaps.
This ensures the technician can safely lean into the work area without risking aircraft damage or losing balance. A Single Lever to Disengage the Slider Locking System allows for rapid, secure positioning and removal, enhancing workflow efficiency without compromising security.
Enhanced Stability and Mobility
Safety and stability are built into every component. The inclusion of heavy-duty, Fully Braked 200mm Swivel Castors ensures easy maneuvering around congested hangar spaces. They also provide rock-solid immobilization once the stand is positioned. For long-term stability and ensuring zero movement during critical maintenance, sturdy Wind-down Jacks provide an unshakeable foundation, leveling the stand even on imperfect hangar floors.
The platform’s lift mechanism is controlled by an Auto-braked and Enclosed Handwinch, which allows for controlled, safe vertical adjustment to the exact height required for the particular maintenance area on the windscreen. This offers reliable, user-friendly operation.
Damage Prevention and Aircraft Protection
Aircraft protection is paramount. The stand incorporates EVA Foam Fenders on the leading edges and within the Sliders. This protective padding acts as a buffer. Even when the platform is maneuvered tightly against the aircraft body, there is no chance of scratching, scuffing, or denting the delicate panels.
The Tow Bar is designed to be conveniently Stowed Against the Platform when not in use, further preventing hazards and maintaining a compact footprint.
Ergonomics and Technician Safety
Technician comfort and safety are significantly enhanced by the Self-levelling Stair access system. This ensures a consistent, stable climb regardless of the platform’s vertical position. The Pivoting Guardrail System facilitates easy ingress and egress onto the platform’s working deck, meeting safety requirements while remaining practical for daily use.
This B787 Adjustable Windshield Access Stand is a specialized maintenance tool. It is indispensable for conducting complex, detailed work on the aircraft’s windscreens and surrounding structure, from routine inspections to immediate corrective repairs. Its design focuses on precision contouring, damage prevention, and worker safety. The platform’s innovative features deliver the controlled access necessary for maintaining the highest standards of aircraft performance and safety.
