The AGSE-D053 Engine Access Stand is designed for Airbus A300-600 aircraft. The stand consists of right and left engine sets. Each set consists of an inboard and outboard stand. The stands are fixed height, multi-level platformed, with manual and mechanically extending sliders. Total access is provided for the engines from lower level sliders for bottom access, to a counter-weighted drop bridge for top access. Handrail is provided around the outside perimeter of open sides, and protective bumpers protect against inadvertent contact with aircraft. Chain handrail is also provided to form a continuous safety barrier when sliders are extended. Two fixed stairways provide access to the ground.

The AGSE-D037 Modular Dock System provides access to service and maintain the DC10, MD11, and A300-600 Aircraft. Vertical dock adjustment is provided by pin legs spaced at three inch intervals. This will accommodate the various aircraft jacking heights. Access to various deck levels is accomplished by stairs attached to each dock module. ‘Clip-on’ stairs are included to adjust stair height over the vertical travel range of the dock modules. Each module is caster mounted for easy positioning.

Utilities, such as pneumatic, electric, and lighting are included on the various dock modules. The AGSE-D037 configuration consists of the following modules:

The AM-1067B Cabin Entry Access Stand is designed as a maintenance stair for use on the B747, DC10 and L1011 aircraft. The basic stand height is 15.5 Ft. and a pop-up step is provided to accommodate aircraft height variations. The top platform measures 66" x 96" and allows clearance for a B747 door in the open position. Stairway is 48" wide, and a mid-landing is provided at 96" above the floor. Four 10" diameter casters with swivel locks and face brakes are standard. A tow-bar is provided which stows on frame when not in use. Unit breaks down into modular sections for ease of shipment and field erection.

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.

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.

The AM-1015 workstand is designed to provide access to the No.1 and No. 3 engines on the DC-10 aircraft. The stand provides three (3) basic levels, as follows:
a. Fan Section
b. Core Section
c. LPT Section
Pop-up platforms are provided at the fan section and the core section to allow access to the pylon and the upper section of the fan case. The stands are provided in sets, (1) LH and (1) RH and are designed to allow full utilization with the cowl doors in the open position.

The AGSE-M047 Bulk Cargo Bay Access Stand is a single level structure providing access to the bulk cargo bay 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 stand. Electrical and air outlets are included with the stand.

The AGSE-D019 Tail Dock has four deck levels and provides access to the vertical and horizontal stabilizers of the aircraft. The inboard edges include sliders (with bumpers) to adjust to the aircraft contour. The forward edge has a bumper similar to the one on the individual sliders. The stand has electrically powered vertically adjustable legs and manually translates inboard/outboard on casters. An articulating stairway provides access from the ground. A series of steps provide access to the Aft Fuselage Access Stands. Two jib hoists on swinging booms are optional. The forward hoist services the aircraft aft cabin doors, while the aft hoist services the elevator assemblies.

The AGSE-D029-G01 Tail Stand provides access to the tail section of the DC10 and MD11 Aircraft. The stand includes two optional personnel lifts for access to the sides of the vertical stabilizer and engine inlet. A tool lift is provided to transport tools and aircraft hardware between the working deck and the ground. A track mounted deck retracts to accommodate the tail cone and extends aft when the tail cone is lowered during
engine change. The forward end of the stand is contoured and includes sliders to match the aircraft shape. The stand has adjustable pinned legs to accommodate the various aircraft jacked heights. A fixed stairway, with clip-on stair treads is provided to access the deck area. Each stand has either dimpled Aerodeck or smooth Aerodeck with non-skid paint applied. Bumpers are provided on the inboard edges abutting the aircraft. The stand includes casters with swivel locks and brakes for positioning, tow bars, and utilities such as pneumatic, electric, and lighting are also included.
