The forward hoist services the aircraft aft cabin doors, while the aft hoist services the elevator assemblies.

Provides access to the tail section of the DC10 and MD11 Aircraft. The stand includes two optional personnel lifts for access to the sides of the vertical stabilizer and engine inlet. A tool lift is provided to transport tools and aircraft hardware between the working deck and the ground. A track mounted deck retracts to accommodate the tail cone and extends aft when the tail cone is lowered during engine change. The forward end of the stand is contoured and includes sliders to match the aircraft shape. The stand has adjustable pinned legs to accommodate the various aircraft jacked heights. A fixed stairway, with clip-on stair treads is provided to access the deck area. Each stand has either dimpled Aerodeck or smooth Aerodeck with non-skid paint applied. Bumpers are provided on the inboard edges abutting the aircraft. The stand includes casters with swivel locks and brakes for positioning, tow bars, and utilities such as pneumatic, electric, and lighting are also included.

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.

Designed to provide access to the Wheel Well, Landing Gear Strut and Hydraulics.

Designed specifically for underwing, leading, and trailing edge access. These stands, when positioned as sets, provide a continuous work area from root to the tip of wing. Although designed for underwing use, each stand (12 in total) may be used on other areas of the aircraft such as the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. Each stand has an adjustable parallelogram stair with non-skid "AERODECK" treads. Platforms match the nominal dihedral of the aircraft and have "AERODECK" flooring with slider sections at each end. Platforms are elevated by an air-operated twin jackscrew assembly driving a single scissor. Upper and lower limit devices prevent over-travel. Mobility is provided with large diameter swivel casters with locks and full-face contact brakes. Services consist of electrical and air convenience outlets. Lighting is provided in the form of fluorescent light is wired directly into junction boxes. Electrical service to the stand is from hanger power and connects to a pigtail fitting at the base of the stand. Air service to the stands also connects at the base with each stand or interconnecting stands. A connecting hose is supplied so that up to three (3) stands along the leading edge or three (3) sections along the trailing edge may be connected. Air manifolds are located on top of each platform. The elevating system is air-powered with a control valve located on top of the platform next to the stair landing. The air system is protected with a filter and lubricator. Each stand is supplied with a tow bar, but lightweight construction will allow hand movement by three (3) to four (4) personnel. The handrail is 42" high with mid-rail and tow board. Safety guard chains provided on the platform ends with the "AERODECK" sliding panels.

Designed to provide access to the top of the engine fan for maintenance and inspection on the PW4084/4090 (AGSE-M024-G01) or GE90 (AGSE-M024-G02) engines on B777 aircraft. The stands consist of two halves to access both sides of the engine. Each stand has a rated capacity of 500 Lbs. and are mounted on casters. Deck heights are adjustable from 132 to 180 inches and access is provided by a fixed ship ladder with clip-on stair treads.

Designed for use on the B747 and L-1011 aircraft and is a manually propelled, mobile and self-supporting structure. The stand is fixed height and mounted on large capacity 10" casters with locks and a tow bar.
