Adjustable aircraft maintenance platform for improving efficiency and safety of aircraft maintenance operations
An apparatus and method are disclosed for servicing a vehicle, such as an airplane. The apparatus includes a mobile maintenance platform configured to position in proximity to the airplane and airplane components such as the engine and the fuselage. A cantilever deck provides a slip resistant surface to work on. A gap on the edge of the deck enables the deck to position near the airplane component. Clamps on either side of the gap apply sufficient force to stabilize the component and also serve to close the gap completely, forming a flat surface across. A railing acts as a barrier on the edge of the deck. A frame supports the deck. Adjustable legs support the frame. A jack raises and lowers the legs to regulate elevation of the deck. A tow hitch enables the apparatus to be moved. An adjustable ladder provides access to the deck.
