Aircraft Maintenance Platforms

Boeing Chinook CH-47 Helicopters

Precision Lift, Inc. is the distributor for maintenance platforms specifically designed to service Boeing Chinook CH-47D cargo helicopters in the hanger. Non-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 CH-47 FALL SAFETY PROTECTION SYSTEM that wraps around the aircraft creating an aircraft maintenance bay. The system meets or exceeds OSHA requirements for worker safety.

Overview of maintenance platform for the Boeing Chinook CH-47 Helicopter

Skid-resistant finish on deck and sliding panelsThe platform system also facilitates training of maintenance technicians by giving the instructor and a group of trainees access to high and hard-to-reach portions of the aircraft. As shown in the photo on the right, the service panel on top of the aircraft is open and there is room on the platform for the entire class to watch.

Four (4) multi-tiered platforms surround the Nose, Left-Side, Right-Side, and Tail Sections. The platforms are designed for easy maneuverability. They 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.

Features of the maintenance platform

Height of castors can be adjusted individually.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.

Tail of Chinook showing underside of sliding panelsThe CH-47 Maintenance Platform was designed with direct input from maintenance technicians who service the Chinook Helicopter. Decks feature multiple sliding floor panels that allow for a contoured fit to the aircraft. Fold-down hand railings provide extra access and work space. All main deck sections are wired with a multiple outlet electrical service and compressed air delivery system.
