E-4

Boeing’s requirement was to provide maintenance platforms for access to the horizontal tail, underwings and engines. Platform design combined light steel and aluminum to support quick platform set-up and mobility. Deck surface was an aluminum dimple design with articulating stairways for both wing and tail access. Stand is used is also used as a wash rack, so waterproof fittings and connections were incorporated throughout. Wing stands included unique engine stand access that are removal during engine replacement, but full fall protection is maintained. Utilities installed included compressed air and electrical outlets.
