Designed to provide access to maintenance personnel to the lower cargo bay. It is provided with a small adjustable pop-up step on the main platform level for flush floor entrance into the cargo bay.

Designed to load the Aeromedical Evacuation Ship Set (AESS) on Boeing B767 Aircraft. The AESS components will be loaded in the main cabin area and the forward cargo bay. The platform deck has a 4,000 pound capacity and has reversible deck panels with rollers to provide both a roll plane and smooth non-skid deck. Removable handrails are provided on the periphery of the deck. Non-marking bumpers are provided on the inboard edges that may contact the aircraft. A suitable forklift is required to support the platform during use.

Three-level, fixed height structure providing engine access for MD80 and MD90 Aircraft. Handrail is provided around the outside of the top deck, and protective bumpers protect against inadvertent contact with aircraft. In addition to the three levels, there is an inboard step assembly at the lowest level providing access beneath the engine. Two stands are provided for the left and right hand sides (-G01/-G02). Each stand is equipped with a jib boom to aid in the handling of inlet cowl, engine access doors, and on the left side, the dorsal section. The jib boom has a hook travel of 244 inches (approx. 20 Ft.), and a weight capacity of 500 Lbs. Two fixed stairways (forward/aft) provide access to the ground. The right hand stand has a notch in the deck at the forward inboard corner to facilitate access to the cargo compartment.

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.

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 complement 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.
