Optimize Maintenance with the AW169 Single Level Side Platform
Improve maintenance for the Leonardo AW169 light-medium twin-engine helicopter using this purpose-built AW169 Single Level Side Platform. This access solution is engineered for comprehensive, safe, and efficient access to all critical areas. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the AW169, it transforms routine inspections and servicing into streamlined operations by providing dedicated side access, which is foundational for maintaining the helicopter’s various complex systems.
Targeted Access for Engine and Rotor Components
Since the AW169 features engines and the gearbox on top of the fuselage, this single-level unit ensures technicians safely reach these elevated areas (approx. 2 to 2.5 meters high). It is particularly valuable for accessing the RH Side Engine area, facilitating quick and secure inspection and maintenance tasks. It also assists in maintenance required around the canted tail rotor.
Advanced Safety Features
The AW169 Single Level Side Platform incorporates innovative telescopic guardrails that slide forward, closing any fall risk gaps near the aircraft. Drop-down guardrails offer flexibility for specific maintenance tasks on the side fuselage. Leading edges are equipped with foam rubber composite buffering, protecting both personnel and the aircraft from accidental damage. Anti-slip nosing on walking surfaces ensures secure footing under demanding workshop conditions.
Operational Mobility and Support
Mobility and ease of positioning are achieved through sturdy 200mm swivel and braked castors, making this platform ideal for quick line maintenance applications. Stair access to the large work platform enhances operational efficiency and safety, allowing users to safely carry tools and parts. For flexibility, the platform includes built-in power outlets, lighting, and compressed air outlets. For broader maintenance needs, consider the Leonardo AW169 Tail Access Platform. This platform is an indispensable asset for the Leonardo AW169 fleet.
