Comprehensive system of aircraft maintenance platforms 

For one of Europe’s leading aircraft manufacturers, TLC developed a set of three service platforms designed directly on the basis of the client’s technical documentation and adapted to the specific requirements of aircraft maintenance operations. 

Project scope – three coordinated service platforms 

Main service platform – safe operation at the required height 

The central working platform, serving as the primary maintenance area, was equipped with: 

• access stairs with handrails on both sides, 

• protective railings and side guards, 

• an anti-slip working surface in RAL 7040, 

• recessed deck lighting, 

• access from two sides — from the front and the side. 

All steel components were coated with anti-corrosion finishes in RAL 7035, RAL 9016 and RAL 3001, selected for environments operating near coastal conditions. 

Mobile platform – flexible positioning and smooth adjustment 

This platform is intended for maintenance tasks requiring frequent changes of position. It incorporates: 

• rotating locking arms securing the working position, 

• bushings and slide bearings ensuring smooth movement, 

• gas springs supporting adjustment, 

• opening side service platforms increasing the working range. 

These features make it possible to precisely position the platform in various aircraft fuselage zones. 

Segmental platform – efficient transport and fast assembly 

The third platform was designed as a modular structure suitable for long-distance transport: 

• ability to be divided into six segments, 

• bolted connections, 

• anti-corrosion coating ensuring durability during storage and operation. 

This solution simplifies logistics and allows accurate reassembly at the place of use. 

Technical solutions engineered for aviation environments 

Each platform is equipped with features that enhance safety and operational efficiency: 

• suspended guiding system enabling linear movement, 

• additional counterweights increasing overall stability, 

• foot brake integrated with the running gear, 

• circumferential welds improving resistance to corrosion, 

• anti-slip working surfaces and recessed lighting. 

All components were produced on time and in accordance with the highest quality standards. The final structure reflects a comprehensive engineering approach to designing maintenance platforms for the aviation sector.
