Tail Dock Platforms (Fixed-Wing)
Our custom tail access platforms allow maintenance personnel to work safely and efficiently around the tail section of the aircraft while protecting it from damage. These access platforms can include 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 platforms are currently in service with multiple operators, MROs, and aircraft manufacturers. Each stand is constructed with premium materials in our CWB-certified facility, exceeding all federal and provincial regulatory requirements, including OHSA and ANSI standards.
