Engine Access Stands

Engine Access Stands

In both commercial and military aviation, there are many instances when routine checks, regularly scheduled maintenance and even repairs can occur if the right personnel can be safely placed in proximity to the equipment in question. Clearly, considering the size and complexity of today’s aircraft engines, the best way to get technicians close to these engine spaces is with well-designed aircraft engine stands.

A traditional engine stand supports an engine in mid-air after it has been removed from its respective vehicle. In contrast, an engine access stand allows a maintenance professional to safely get close enough to an engine without it ever having to be separated from the aircraft. Of course, considering the rounded outer cowls and average height of large aircraft engines, reaching this space with the right tools is no easy feat.

Engine access stands are some of the most specially designed avionics work platforms on the market today. When they’re properly constructed and appropriately used, these stands offer certified protection to both workers and the engines they maintain.

Features of Aircraft Engine Access Stands

With uses that range from regularly scheduled servicing and maintenance procedures to completing time-sensitive repairs and regulatory checks, aircraft engine access stands are in near constant use in many of today’s busiest hangars and fleet maintenance areas.

What often distinguishes well-made aircraft engine access stands from other work platforms are the following features:

• Adjustable height and pitch that allow for the greatest diversity of servicing area
• Full padding of the stands at any possible aircraft side contact points
• Materials used in construction that are both lightweight and strong as well as treated for corrosion resistance
• Castors equipped with both swivel locks and braking mechanisms
• Extensive fall and slip resistance in the form of full-sized ladder rungs and handrails
• Secure tool trays at the top of the stands

Our 5-Step Process

1. Consultation & Collaboration
2. Design & Concept
3. Manufacturing & Shipping Detailing
4. Testing & Documentation
5. Delivery, Setup & Training

We take the extra measure and precaution to test the load capacity of your aircraft stands. Before we manufacture your platforms at our 47,000-square-foot facility in Apopka, FL, our team initiates a Finite Element Analysis via Solidworks — we have certified Solidworks Associates (CSWA) on staff. Then, we’ll complete proof load testing after fabricating your general aircraft maintenance stands. The result is a design that’s rated for a load capacity of 1,000 pounds.
