The AGSE-D101 Nose/Fuselage Dock is a one piece, adjustable height, fixed dock system which provides access to the nose and fuselage of MD80/90 series aircraft. The dock is accessed by three articulating stairways which bolt to the facility’s upper mezzanine level. Two located forward on either side, and one located on the center left hand side. The dock height is adjustable from 87 inches minimum to 129 inches maximum, and is powered by motor driven jackscrews. Sliders are provided on the inboard deck edge. Mechanically driven sliders with articulating bumper ends are provided along the contour of the nose area. Two vertically adjustable finger decks (with sliders) provide
access above the forward wing area. Booms equipped with electrical and air hookups accompany the finger decks, and aid in the handling of cords and hoses. One fixed crown bridge with a vertically adjustable finger deck provides access to the top of aircraft. All finger decks are adjusted using hand-crank cable winches. A boom is provided for cabin door removal. The boom has a 500 Lb. capacity, with air hoist and a hand operated trolley.

The AGSE-E092-G01 Inlet Cowl Dolly is designed to support the CFM56-7 engine inlet cowl for local/shop transport. The inlet cowl is supported by three smooth rubber pad mounts along the lower section, and four rubber pad supports along the aft section. The upper section is secured by two ground handling lugs on the sides of dolly, and tightened down with turnbuckles. the inlet cowl can be installed into the dolly using an overhead sling (ref. Boeing P/N: B71040), and secures quickly and easily.

The AGSE-D160 C130 dock system is designed to provide personnel access to service the aircraft wings, AFT fuselage, and horizontal and vertical tail components. The dock system consists of interlocking elevated platform sections as well as specialized support equipment designed to compliment the platforms. There are three basic platform components; a fixed tail mezzanine, mobile multi-sectional wing stands and AFT fuselage access ramps that allow access between the tail mezzanine and wing stands. Specialized support equipment includes mobile and fixed tool lifts, a rolling sloping longeron stand and deck-mounted wing cradles.
The fixed single deck tail mezzanine structure provides the basis for situating the aircraft and wing stands within the hangar. An access stair and tool lift is provided at the rear corner of the mezzanine deck. The mezzanine deck is reinforced in key locations to allow tail jack placement and use on the deck. The deck is designed to support the repair of a detached Horizontal Stabilizer.
Aft fuselage access ramps provide access to the fuselage and connection between the mezzanine and wing stand. The ramp deck has a sloped transition to accommodate the elevation change between the mezzanine and inboard fuselage stand raised deck. Slider panels are provided along the inboard edge to conform to the fuselage contour. The ramps are caster mounted for precise positioning and relocation within the facility. A hinged deck section is located at the AFT end to allow the unit to be moved into location without requiring movement of other stand sections.
The wing dock system consists of six caster mounted mobile stands per side. Sliders at the inboard and outboard fuel pod locations allow pod removal and installation with the aircraft docked in stands. Slider panels are incorporated along the inboard edge of the inboard stands to provide a deck surface which conforms to the aircraft contour. An access stair and tool lift is provided along the trailing edge of the left and right wing stand set. Deck slider panels are provided at wing and engine jack shoring positions. Cover plates at each wing jack location conceal gaps between jack legs and sliders. Removable and adjustable handrail sections are provided along the perimeter of the assembled wing stands. All stands lock together at the inner corners using bolt or turnbuckle connections.
The mobile tool lifts are provided for convenience at the tail stand and wing stand locations. The wing stand tool lifts are mobile to allow roll-away in the event the wing stands are to be moved or additional aircraft or equipment clearances are required.
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.
For each wing stand, a set of specially designed wing cradles is provided. These cradles are designed to quickly set-up and allow the detached outer wing to rest directly on the wing stand deck. The cradles are fitted with screw jacks and are manually height adjustable.

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.
