Platforms to service forward section of helicopterNon-slip decks and sturdy handrails allow maintenance personnel to easily and safely service the helicopter, preventing injuries from falls.   Fall protection is mandated by the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).  Our platform forms a complete MH-53 FALL SAFETY PROTECTION SYSTEM that wraps around the aircraft creating an aircraft maintenance bay.  The system meets or exceeds OSHA requirements for worker safety.

The Maintenance Platform features high-strength, lightweight, aluminum construction with state-of-the-art construction combined with state-of-the-art technology.  From bottom to top, the platforms provide easy and safe access to all crucial service areas of the aircraft.

Four (4) multi-tiered platforms (highlighted in blue) surround the Nose, Left-Side, Right-Side, and Tail Sections.  The platforms are designed for easy maneuverability.  On the MH-53 the tail with the tail rotor is hinged and folds back.  It is serviced from the upper platform (highlighted in green).  The platform sections can be separated from each other for storage or for replacement.  The system is designed with a small "footprint" to fit in hangers with limited floor space.
