Nose Dock Platforms (Fixed-Wing)
Our custom nose docks allow maintenance personnel to work safely and efficiently around the nose of the aircraft while protecting it from damage. These access platforms can be equipped with pneumatic or power hook-ups, tool trays, and removable railings for ease of use. Functionality is enhanced through a lighter design, smaller footprint, and optimized geometry.
These stands are currently in service with multiple operators, MROs, and aircraft manufacturers. Each unit is constructed with premium materials in our CWB-certified facility, exceeding all federal and provincial regulatory requirements, including OHSA and ANSI standards.
