TYPES OF MILITARY MAINTENANCE STANDS

Selecting a military maintenance stand is a detailed process. Your MRO is individualized, and finding GSE that supports it safely and ergonomically is paramount. To improve technicians’ safety and workflow, you expect high-quality equipment designed to fit your needs and budget. JETechnology Solutions is committed to exceeding those expectations with superior innovation and service. Before looking into different stand types, consider how your facility and work might influence your maintenance stand needs. Think about the following factors:

• The size of your work area
• Work area storage space
• Stand installation restrictions
• The number of people using the stand
• Current workflow inefficiencies
• Current MRO routine
• Desired stand weight capacity
• Desired stand features
• Desired stand material
• Stand functionality
• Necessary railing height

In addition to those factors, approach your maintenance stand selection with a budget in mind. Safety is crucial, but so is finding a combination of stands within your price range. Find an option that fits your MRO with an industry expert like JETechnology.

JETECHNOLOGY CUSTOM DESIGN SERVICES

Whether we’re producing a custom or standard military aircraft maintenance stand, we tailor it to your requirements at every stage of our process, which includes:

• Meet: With pre-production meetings, risk assessment analyses and mitigation plans, we learn about what you want and need for your military aircraft ground support equipment. We also make you aware of our full traceability policy, which lets you see where your equipment’s materials came from before construction. We’ll work with you to discuss a design that fits your MRO, GSE requirements and your budget.

• Design: We reference your statement of work, as well as proposal request, budget and deadline to start engineering your aircraft stands. With each CAD drawing, we consider the packaging and delivery methods for success, plus test fluid flow, heat transfer and fatigue to deliver the best blueprint for manufacturing. We conduct Finite Element Analysis using Solidworks Simulation on many of our designs. We can also test fluid flow, heat transfer and conduct drop and fatigue tests. Along the way, we anticipate your potential challenges and utilize our corporate design expertise to develop innovative solutions to address them.

• Manufacturing: Our quality assurance team is on-hand throughout the entire manufacturing process, ensuring our welders, machinists and fabricators match AS9100C for quality standards. No matter the number of military aircraft maintenance stands we’re producing, quality is always at the forefront. Our design and production teams work together to keep lead times fast. We construct our maintenance stands with American labor and materials from our vetted Qualified Suppliers List. In all projects, we offer full traceability and customer satisfaction.

• Testing: After manufacturing, our quality assurance team tests all of our products to ensure their quality and their safety for your personnel. We document each piece of equipment for safety specifications and create a user operation and maintenance manual so you know exactly how to operate and care for your military stands.

• Deliver: Following a final inspection by our quality assurance staff, we package and arrange transportation for your military aircraft’s ground support equipment. We only partner with trusted carriers, ensuring your hardware arrives intact. We’ll even demonstrate your equipment’s safety features to your in-house safety personnel.
