The platform assembly on the left in the drawing fits around the forward section of the helicopter. The assembly on the right fits around the aft section. (The orange disk indicates the tail rotor of a Black Hawk. The tail rotor pylon is shown schematically in blue.) 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).
The maintenance platform features fully welded, high-strength, lightweight aluminum
construction. Since the forward and aft platform assemblies are mounted on wheels (6" swivel castors),
the platforms are easily rolled into place next to the helicopter. Each castor locks in place to
prevent movement during maintenance; and its height is adjustable to compensate for hanger
floors that are uneven. The forward platform is rated for a uniform load of 4,500 pounds. The tail rotor platform will support a uniform load of 3,000 pounds.
The sturdy handrails are bolted in place for safety. The side handrails can be removed or folded down for ease in docking the platform and in removing the main rotor blades. Kick panels (a.k.a. toeboards) at the bottom of the handrails provide additional safety.
Safety-grip tread plate is used for all decks and stairs. Sliding panels with non-marking rubber
bumpers extend out from the bottom of the main deck to the helicopter, conforming to the
profile of the helicopter. The sliding panels are locked in-place with stainless steel hardware. The kick panels on the outboard side of the deck and the sliding panels on the inboard side keep tools and rolling objects on the deck from falling onto people below.
