Aviation
Aviation maintenance requires access equipment that is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to reach aircraft structures at precise heights without damaging airframe surfaces. The hangars and aprons where maintenance work is performed demand equipment that can be repositioned quickly between aircraft types and service locations. Aluminium Platforms supplies aviation maintenance ladders and access platforms to MRO facilities, airlines, and defence aviation workshops across Australia.
Bailey Modular Access System for Aviation
The Bailey Modular Access System is the primary access platform solution for aviation maintenance. The system uses bolt-together aluminium sections that create access structures from single 3-step uprights through full multi-level configurations. Components include the 4-step upright, 6-step upright, joiner platforms, and Plus Platforms. Full aviation maintenance configurations with multiple levels and extended platforms reach up to in this category. The modular sections allow the system to be reconfigured for different aircraft types or access heights without replacing the full structure, which is important for MRO operations servicing multiple aircraft types.
Fibreglass Single Sided Ladders for Aviation
Staruiju fibreglass single sided step ladders in 150 kg grade are used for routine aircraft access work where a modular platform is not required. The fibreglass construction is preferred in aviation environments because it does not cause galvanic corrosion when in contact with aluminium airframe surfaces, and it eliminates electrical risk near avionics and aircraft electrical systems. Models range from 4 steps to 10 steps covering common aircraft access heights at engine cowlings, fuselage panels, and wing service access points.
Non-Conductive Equipment Requirements
Aircraft carry significant electrical systems, and any equipment used in proximity to open wiring, avionics bays, or power distribution panels should be non-conductive. Fibreglass ladders and platforms are the standard equipment for all electrical maintenance tasks on aircraft. Using aluminium ladders near live aircraft electrical systems is a risk that the fibreglass specification eliminates entirely.
Repositioning Between Aircraft Types
MRO facilities and airline maintenance operations service multiple aircraft types, which requires access equipment that can be adjusted and repositioned without major reconfiguration effort. The Bailey Modular System accommodates this by allowing sections to be added, removed, or rearranged. Portable step ladders for ground access tasks can be quickly moved between work positions across the hangar floor.
