Engineered for ERJ175 Nose Stand Access
This specialized work platform raises the standards for maintenance safety and efficiency on the Embraer ERJ175 regional jet. This highly adaptable access solution provides secure, precise positioning for technicians performing inspection, repair, and servicing tasks, focusing primarily on the aircraft’s nose section.
The core function of this platform is to grant first-class access to the ERJ175’s windscreen and radome area. Technicians need detailed, close-up access for cleaning, sealing, and replacing components near the cockpit windows. This task requires stability and exact positioning, and this ERJ175 Nose Stand delivers that versatility.
Precision Contouring for ERJ175 Safety
Innovative features include the sliding finger system, which is thoroughly designed to extend and match the precise contours and profiles of the aircraft’s multi-shaped nose. This customizable fit ensures minimal gaps between the platform and the aircraft, significantly enhancing technician safety and reducing the risk of accidental damage to the airframe. Specialized sliders are integrated to closely fit the windscreen contour, allowing unhindered, safe access right up to the window edges.
Built-in Aircraft Protection
Protecting the valuable aircraft structure is paramount. The ERJ175 Nose Stand incorporates EVA Foam Fenders along all leading edges, acting as a buffer against accidental contact. This detail helps safeguard the ERJ175’s delicate skin during maneuvering and maintenance operations, ensuring safety is always central to the design. Accessibility is managed via a dedicated stair access point, ensuring a clear and safe path for personnel and tools.
Safety is further enforced by a self-closing gate, guaranteeing the access opening is secured immediately after use.
Secure and Efficient Height Adjustment
Recognizing the varying heights encountered during maintenance, whether the aircraft is jacked or unjacked, the platform is equipped with a significant 1200mm height adjustment range. This adjustment is managed via an auto-braked handwinch system, providing smooth, controlled elevation changes. An incremental height locking system ensures that once the desired working height is achieved, the platform is securely fixed, eliminating vertical movement and maintaining stability for the technician.
Multi-Role Maintenance Support
Stability and maneuverability on the hangar floor are managed by heavy-duty, fully braked 200mm Swivel Castors. These sturdy wheels allow for easy positioning around the aircraft while the full braking capability ensures the stand remains static and secure during active work. While primarily tailored for the nose and windscreen, the platform’s adjustable height and sturdy design make it highly suitable for other maintenance contexts on the ERJ175, including work on the leading and trailing edges of the wing.
The maintenance schedule involves routine inspection of the wings, which house flight control surfaces and fuel systems. This versatile platform can be repositioned and adjusted to facilitate access to these areas, supporting tasks related to fuel system checks, hydraulics, and general wing structure inspection.
Versatility Beyond the ERJ175 Nose Stand
Additionally, the sturdy nature and height flexibility of this platform allow it to support minor access tasks around other key ERJ175 maintenance zones, such as the engines (CF34), landing gear, and potentially the vertical tail or APU areas, especially when interchangeable access solutions are required. For general servicing and inspection checks, this versatile platform provides invaluable, safe access. This efficiency ensures companies remain productive for longer.
The Work Surface and Guardrail System
The work surface itself is constructed from durable treadplate decking, offering a non-slip, secure footing for technicians in all working conditions. The entire system is safeguarded by an adjustable guardrail system, which allows the barrier height to be fine-tuned to suit specific requirements, maximizing protection while minimizing obstruction to the work area. This ensures compliance with the strictest safety protocols during routine maintenance activities involving the aircraft’s critical systems and structure. This purpose-built access solution is an indispensable asset for maintaining the airworthiness and operational efficiency of the Embraer ERJ175 fleet.
We also offer specialized nose dock solutions for other Embraer aircraft, like the E190.
