Designed specifically for underwing, leading, and trailing edge access. These stands, when positioned as sets, provide a continuous work area from root to the tip of wing. Although designed for underwing use, each stand (12 in total) may be used on other areas of the aircraft such as the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. Each stand has an adjustable parallelogram stair with non-skid "AERODECK" treads. Platforms match the nominal dihedral of the aircraft and have "AERODECK" flooring with slider sections at each end. Platforms are elevated by an air-operated twin jackscrew assembly driving a single scissor. Upper and lower limit devices prevent over-travel. Mobility is provided with large diameter swivel casters with locks and full-face contact brakes. Services consist of electrical and air convenience outlets. Lighting is provided in the form of fluorescent light is wired directly into junction boxes. Electrical service to the stand is from hanger power and connects to a pigtail fitting at the base of the stand. Air service to the stands also connects at the base with each stand or interconnecting stands. A connecting hose is supplied so that up to three (3) stands along the leading edge or three (3) sections along the trailing edge may be connected. Air manifolds are located on top of each platform. The elevating system is air-powered with a control valve located on top of the platform next to the stair landing. The air system is protected with a filter and lubricator. Each stand is supplied with a tow bar, but lightweight construction will allow hand movement by three (3) to four (4) personnel. The handrail is 42" high with mid-rail and tow board. Safety guard chains provided on the platform ends with the "AERODECK" sliding panels.

The AGSE-D104 Maintenance Dock System provides complete access to service and maintain B737-200 through -600 and A320 aircraft. This system is comprised of six dock and access stand components which provide the total coverage for the aircraft (see list below). Vertical and horizontal dock adjustment is provided by hand crank drives, motor driven jackscrews, jacking legs, and legs that pin into multiple positions. This allows access for “D” check inspections and maintenance with aircraft jacked to unload the landing gear. Access stairs are amply provided on all components with clip-on stairs compensating for various dock heights. All inboard edges have contour adjustable Aerodeck™ sliders that provide docking clearance and close-up all gaps. Stowable chain handrail is provided for added safety around any open edges and on sliders.

The AM-1189 stand has been designed with the optimum combination of desired characteristics in regards to anticipated operating conditions, keeping foremost in mind the safety of operating personnel and maximum accessibility to the work areas of the aircraft.
The design has also been governed by OSHA and local applicable safety codes for mobile work stands.
This stand provides work areas at aircraft reference water line planes WL-78.00, WL-104.00, WL-200.00 and WL-294.00 with a rolling platform at WL-238.00 to service the aircraft windshield area with a jib crane provided for removal of same.
The stand is adjustable, by means of electric motor drive, in a vertical plane for a full 72" to accommodate the aircraft in a jacked or un-jacked position.

Features:

• Used for towing/steering B747 aircraft by attaching to nose landing gear (NLG) while pulled by tow tractor
• Primarily consists of cylindrical steel body

• Lunette eye at one end of towbar connects to tow tractor

• Mechanical head assembly at opposite end of towbar connects to aircraft NLG
• Mounted on articulated undercarriage with hydraulic pump & retractable spring (to raise/lower towbar)

Designed to raise and/or lower tools only with a maximum load capacity of 300 lbs. It is designed to use with AM-1141, AM-1245, AM-1962 DC-10/KC-10 Tails Docks.

Features:

• Licensed by Boeing Company to install & remove CF6-80C2 & PW4000-94" engines when supported by commercial engine cradles

The AM-1141 Center Engine Access Stand is designed to accommodate the proper access to the DC-10 aircraft #2 engines. The unit is adjustable for usage with the MD-11 series aircraft. This application also includes the USAF KC-10 Tanker series aircraft. The access stand is compatible with all powered bootstrap hoists for engine removal and does not require repositioning during that operation.
Also Reference AM-1245 and AM-1962 Center Engine Access Stands
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MD-11 AIRCRAFT USAGE
While the stand is adjustable to the MD-11 aircraft, it was originally designed to accommodate the DC-10. For this reason, due to the larger tail cone on the MD-11, the tail cone MUST BE LOWERED and locked in the down position prior to positioning the stand up to the aircraft.

Features:

• Designed for use with A300, DC10-10/-15/-30, & KC-10 aircraft during engine installation/removal
• Support can accommodate 1, 2 & 3 engines by exchanging easy-to-install components for applicable engine
• Pieces pin together quickly & easily
• Allows for easier maintenance & repair tasks
• Functionally equivalent to McDonnell Douglas part #DZZ7287

The Sloping Longeron stand allows technician access along the full length of the main cargo bay longerons during repair or replacement. It is specifically designed to collapse for a low profile such that it may be rolled under the tail mezzanine and into the cargo bay area. Once positioned along the edge of the cargo bay, it is hydraulically raised into position.

Two-piece, three-level work platform designed specifically for the MD-80 and B727-200 aircraft. A vertical travel of 62" (5' 3") allows both aircraft to be serviced from this dock including jacked/un-jacked height differences of the MD-80.

Single level structure providing access to the forward and aft cargo bays of B767 and B777 Aircraft. The deck height is adjustable and offers two preset deck heights (72 inches for B767 and 108 inches for B777). A fixed stairway provides access to the ground. The B777 height requires use of a portable stairway extension included with the stands. Electrical and air outlets are included with the stands.

Provides a climactically clean room environment housing instrumentation and equipment for the purpose of supporting the ABL Test Program. The RSDS is designed to be used in conjunction with the AGSE-M122 Turret Maintenance and Conditioning Platform (TMCP).
The RSDS is supported by a Rolling Base that is fabricated primarily from structural grade tube steel. The Rolling Base is horizontally cross-braced to ensure square alignment of the vertical lift system. Four (4) ton capacity floor jacks are mounted to the rolling base to stabilize the structure. The floor jacks feature hand crank operation of a worm gear and acme screw actuator with swivel-mounted shoes.
The RSDS features a 10,000 clean room with a separately partitioned gowning area. A sliding door separates the two rooms. The environment of both rooms is climactically controlled by a system made up of a air conditioner, humidifier, blower and HEPA filters. The rooms also feature fluorescent lighting, insulated walls, smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and power outlets. The clean room has a pendant control for vertical and horizontal motion and communication headsets that can be plugged in at various locations.
