Access platforms, stands and stairs
Maintenance access platforms, landing gear and engine stands, height-adjustable door stairs and MRO cranes, built for the aircraft you maintain.
The right height at every work zone
Line and base maintenance require access to many zones at different heights: the tail and APU compartment, the landing gear bays, the engine cowlings and the passenger and cargo doors. Using one general-purpose ladder or platform for all of them costs time and creates risk.
Purpose-built stands put technicians at the correct height for each task, with a stable deck and room for tools, and can be moved quickly between aircraft.
Stands sized to the task and the aircraft
- Zone-specific platforms: THS compartment and APU, main and nose landing gear, engine under-cowl.
- Capacity: access platforms for up to 4 people; door stairs with a safe working load of 2 persons.
- Height adjustment: screw-jack, hydraulic or electric.
- Lifting: compact, detachable MRO cranes up to 5 t.
- All aircraft types: fixed-wing, rotary-wing, drone and VTOL.

Access platforms and stairs: common questions
Which access stands do you make?
Access platforms for the THS compartment and APU zone, main and nose landing gear and engine under-cowl work, carrying up to 4 people, as well as height-adjustable stairs for passenger and cargo doors.
What height range do your door stairs cover?
Our height-adjustable stairs cover 2.5 to 6.5 m, which spans passenger door sills from narrow-body aircraft such as the Boeing 737 (2.46–2.79 m) and the Airbus A320 family (3.42–3.73 m) to wide-body main decks such as the Boeing 747 (4.52–5.46 m) and the Boeing 777 (4.69–5.66 m). The safe working load is 2 persons.
What is the typical lead time?
Typically 2 months from order.
Steel or aluminium, fixed or mobile?
Aluminium or steel structures are available. Castors and stabilisers are common; hydraulic or electric traction is optional.
What lifting capacity do your MRO cranes have?
Our MRO cranes lift up to 5 t to a height of up to 6 m. They are compact and detachable, with hydraulic or mechanical operation and an electric drive option.
Can the stands be made for a specific aircraft?
Yes. We design access equipment for all aircraft types, including fixed-wing, rotary-wing, drone and VTOL aircraft.
