B787 Maintenance Bridging Platform for Safe Engine Access
Originally designed for United Airlines and their fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners they acquired in 2016-17.
With the engines being detached during maintenance, and standing at 115 inches from the ground up, workers found it challenging to reach the center top of the engine without having to overreach. They commissioned SafeSmart Aviation to design these curved access stairs, which are easily rolled up to each side of the engine and secured into place by lockable castors.
The system is engineered so that the curved section experiences no flexing whilst under load by technicians. Also, part of the suite of products provided for United and their 787s was a simple curved ladder accessing one side of the engine cowls.
Enhanced Safety and Stability
This B787 Maintenance Bridging Platform offers dual-side approach curved access stairs precisely contoured to the engine profile.
Eliminate Overreach Challenges
The design addresses the critical access challenge during engine maintenance where detached engines stand high, allowing workers to reach the center top without overreach, utilizing the B787 Maintenance Bridging Platform.
Non-Flexing Curved Design
The platform’s curved section is structurally engineered to ensure zero flexing, even when technicians are working under full load on the B787 Maintenance Bridging Platform.
Designed for Boeing 787 Dreamliners
