General Purpose Fixed-Wing Narrow Body Wheel Rack
The General Purpose Fixed-Wing Narrow Body Wheel Rack is a practical, organised storage solution designed for maintenance environments handling wheels from narrow-body aircraft. Built around a strong, efficient layout, it helps technicians manage wheel sets safely while reducing the manual handling effort often associated with storing and retrieving heavy assemblies.
Streamlining Narrow Body Wheel Rack Management
This six-slot rack features individual storage bays measuring 1250mm high by 760mm wide, giving ample space for standard narrow-body main and nose wheels. The layout keeps each wheel separated, upright and stable, supporting clean workflow in both hangar and outdoor maintenance areas. A retaining chain secures the wheels once loaded, preventing movement during storage or when the Narrow Body Wheel Rack is repositioned.
Assisted Loading for Enhanced Safety
A standout functional element is the hinged flap and roller system. This system significantly reduces the strain of lifting wheels into position by allowing the user to roll the wheel smoothly into the slot. Instead of wrestling with weight and awkward angles, technicians can rely on a controlled, assisted loading method that improves safety and reduces fatigue. This becomes especially valuable during high-volume tire changes, brake-wear checks or storage rotations after heavy maintenance events.
Durable Design for Hangar and Apron Use
The Narrow Body Wheel Rack is built for durability, with a structure that handles constant use in demanding operational settings. Whether positioned in a maintenance bay, line-side storage area or parts staging zone, it stays stable and ready for repeated loading cycles. For operations requiring weather protection—such as wheel storage on the apron or in partially sheltered locations—an optional canvas cover is available. This cover shields stored wheels from rain, sun exposure and dust, helping maintain cleanliness and extending service life between fitment cycles.
Optimising Maintenance Workflow with the Narrow Body Wheel Rack
In the context of narrow-body aircraft maintenance—where wheels see high cycle counts, frequent brake inspections and regular tire replacements—having a structured, easy-to-use storage system is essential. Crews often handle multiple wheel sets in quick succession during line maintenance, heavy checks or turnaround support. This Narrow Body Wheel Rack keeps the workspace organised and reduces clutter around the landing-gear support area. It also helps ensure that removed wheels remain in good condition prior to inspection, retread or reinstallation.

Specifics of the Narrow Body Wheel Rack
For maintenance teams working with aircraft such as the A320 family, 737 series, E-Jets or other regional and narrow-body platforms, the rack provides a central point for safe wheel management, helping streamline workflow and enhance facility efficiency. Strong, cleanly organised and built for day-to-day service, the General Purpose Fixed-Wing Narrow Body Wheel Rack supports the essential handling and storage needs of wheel assemblies in modern maintenance operations—keeping technicians productive and wheels secure, protected and ready for use.
Customisation for Any Narrow Body Fleet
Custom sizing is also available, allowing operators to tailor the Narrow Body Wheel Rack to their fleet mix, wheel dimensions or facility constraints. Whether supporting a unified narrow-body fleet or multiple aircraft types across different programs, the rack can be configured to match specific storage requirements.
