V-22 All Aluminum Maintenance Platform

The V-22 stand is an aluminum stand that boasts a lot of cool features

• The stand moves up and down 16”
• The stand is raised on the casters meaning you can move the stand around at any height. No more lowering it back to the lowest height just to move it over 4”. Once stand is in place the second jacks raise the casters off of the ground.
• All handrails pivot down on the back side of the stand so the aircraft can be moved in and out of the stand without having to move the stand position

V-22 All Aluminum Maintenance Platform Features:

•  The nacelle doors swing down out of the way and have a gas support shock so they are easy to move and will not swing down and hit someone when opening the pins. With this system, the force required to raise the do is very low
• The area around the drop-down doors has drop-in handrails to provide fall protection when the deck is in the lowered position. When the handrails are not needed around the nacelle they store along the outside perimeter of the stand on the inside of the handrails with mounting holes in the floor
• The AFT side of the wing has sliders that extend out to the nacelle and is canted at the same angle as the wing for ergonomics when working on the rear side of the wing
• This large stand has many pieces so each large section has a metal engraved plate used for part identification

• All areas that could come into contact with the aircraft have protective bumpers
• The stand has over the fuselage handrails to provide fall protection for personnel on top of the aircraft
• Every section has large stickers displaying live and dead loads along with caution/warning stickers
• The stand is equipped with electrical, air, vacuum, and Ethernet connections at 12 locations throughout the stand.
• The staircase has variable pitch steps meaning they stay parallel to the ground no matter the stand height and have even spacing through every step.
