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 AM-1074 Crew Entry and Airpack Access Stand is designed as a combination maintenance boarding stair and a workstand providing access to the airpack bay. The basic stand height set at 15'-6" and a pop-up step is provided to accommodate aircraft height variations. The top platform measures 48" x 96". The stairway is a full 48" wide with a mid-landing and platform extension positioned to provide full access to the airpack compartment for servicing. The unit breaks down into module sections suitable for truck shipping and simplified field erection.

The AM-1343 Manual Bootstrap Kit is designed for use with aircraft wing engines CF6-50, CF6- 80A1/3, CF6-80C2, JT9D-7R4 and JT9D-59 which are used on DC-10, KC-10, A300-600, A310-300, A300 B4 aircraft. Kit is capable of being shipped in a single reusable container, AM-2175, for ground or air transport around the world. Bootstrap pins quickly, securely and easily into place. Cradle Adapters (other than the standard Adapters used with AGSE cradles) may be custom-designed to each customers' needs.

The AGSE-M036 APU Access Stand is a two level structure providing access to the APU Bay and APU Access Panel of B747 and B777 Aircraft. The stand can accommodate the aircraft on shoring jacks. The aft level includes adjustable panels (sliders) on the forward edge. The forward level includes sliders on the aft and right edges. The levels are vertically adjustable (independently) by air driven jack screws. An articulating stairway provides access to the ground.

AGSE has designed this system for access to the KC-10 #2 engine. The platforms are a totally self-contained
set of two scissors stands that require three pallet positions in the aircraft during transport. One set of coupled 88" x 108" military pallets are required plus one single pallet for accessory hardware storage box. A protective bumper is fastened to the ends of each slider and all other surfaces that may come in contact with the aircraft. Handrails and toe plates are provided on open outer sides of each working deck.

The AM-1156 stand has been 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.

The AM-2067 Nose Lifting Dolly is specifically designed to raise the nose gear on the P3 Orion airplane. With a maximum lifting height of 50", this allows ample clearance for the tail of the aircraft to enter a low entrance hanger facility door. The maximum lifting capacity is 13,000 pounds, allowing more than enough power to raise the aircraft's forward section to the allowable height. The unit's power source is electrically operated motor (1-1/2 HP, 1,750 RPM with brake) which operates two jack screws. Mechanics of lift is scissor type design which lends itself to proper clearances, straight vertical travel, high power-to-lift distance proportions and light weight mobility of the entire unit. Hook-up to aircraft takes less than five minutes due to the unique design of the removable support bar. This one-man operation is specifically designed for quick and simple usage.

The AGSE-E009 Tail Stand is a caster mounted stand specifically designed for American Airlines to service the tail section of the Fokker F100 Aircraft. The tail stand is fixed height with multiple decks to service and maintain the vertical and horizontal stabilizers. The first deck provides access to the thrust reverser. A gate is provided on the first deck landing to facilitate removal of tool boxes and other heavy equipment. A hinged deck is provided on the forward end of the tail stand to provide access to the exhaust plug and engine pylon. The deck elevation is adjusted through the use of a cable winch. The second deck provides access to the horizontal stabilizer and upper vertical stabilizer surface. The deck surfaces that abut the aircraft (on all deck levels) include movable sliders with non-marking bumpers. Lights, electrical receptacles, and air receptacles are provided around the periphery of each deck level.

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-M058 Windshield Access Stand is a one-level, adjustable height structure providing access to the windshield area of MD80 and MD90 Aircraft. The stand is used with the AGSE-D101 Nose/Fuselage Dock. The windshield stand rolls along the deck of the nose/fuselage dock on a “V” groove rail (right side of stand only). Each caster leg is adjustable, and bolts in 5 positions spaced 1-1/2 inches apart (6 inches total travel). Handrail is provided around the outside perimeter of the deck, and protective bumpers protect against inadvertent contact with aircraft nose. Two fixed stairways (left/right) provide access to the nose/fuselage dock.
