Wheel Well and Platform Stands
These aircraft maintenance stands are designed for under and over cowling requirements for a variety of different aircraft.
As with all our stands, we use anti-fatigue ladder steps rather than narrow ladder rungs. This ensures comfort when using the stands to change LRU’S, adjust components or connect/disconnect engines and nacelles. These stands are currently in use at multiple operators, MRO’S and aircraft manufacturers.
From inception, through to design, fabrication, and installation; Liftsafe specializes in standard and custom fixed-wing Wheel Well Access Stands and Ladders. Working alongside our valued clients in the Commercial, Military, and Private Aircraft sectors, we have been recognized as a leader in quality, innovation, dependability and customer service. Our products are designed to safely access maintenance inspection points, perform painting, assembly, overhaul and repairs.
Our specialized solutions allow maintenance personnel to work both safely and efficiently while protecting the aircraft. Our stands are constructed with premium American materials and products in a CWB Certified Fabrication shop, while exceeding all federal and provincial regulatory requirements including OHSA and ANSI.
Our defining philosophy, “safety in the air, starts on the ground,” highlights our core focus of keeping our clients and their teams safe.
All Liftsafe products are engineered, designed, built and tested in accordance with OSHA and ANSI regulations.
Many of our products have also been tested and meet or exceed BS EN 131.7, DIN EN 12312-8, EN 1915-1 and include CE certifications.
Designed to be used to service engines, pylons, radome and AFT fuselage points. Our professional engineers can design custom models based on your specific requirements.
Optional telescopic side rails ensure safety compliant access to the forward and AFT lower cargo holds. The aviation wheel well and platform stands are hydraulically actuated.

Our process
At Liftsafe, we are focused on collaboration and innovation. Whether you need a custom designed solution, or are simply looking for an “out of the box” product, our process remains laser focused on exceptional service and support.
Phase 1: Design
Every project is unique. In this phase, we take a collaborative and consultative approach to define requirements, evaluate your needs, and explore all possible solutions to ensure the right fit for your operation.
Phase 2: Safety
Our defining philosophy—“safety in the air starts on the ground”—drives our focus on keeping your teams protected. Every solution we develop prioritizes hazard elimination and integrates passive safety features into each design.
Phase 3: Compliance
The aviation sector is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world. Our staff engineers are up to date on the latest safety regulations and ensure that each piece of equipment meets or exceeds safety compliance standards.
Phase 4: Implement
Each project is launched through a structured process that includes manufacturing, commissioning, and training. Every solution is tested under real-world conditions and refined to meet all design criteria for safe, reliable performance.
Phase 5: Support
Once an aircraft maintenance platform is in service, it faces real-world conditions. That’s why Liftsafe provides ongoing preventative maintenance and service plans to ensure reliable operation and ongoing customer support.
