Our Universal Landing Gear and Wheel Bay Access Platform was created to be able to access both the aircraft landing gear and wheel bay doors. With a height range of 1.7m – 3m, a winch mechanism enables the platform height to be easily changed to fit in with the inspection or maintenance task being carried out. When access is required, our safety gate can be opened. In addition, this platform has railings that are hinged at their mid-point, to enable them to be folded to facilitate access to all required areas. As is standard across the Semmco product range, the platform is aluminium, ensuring it is lightweight and easy to operate, with non-slip stairs and platform tread making the platform as safe as possible. A sophisticated hydraulic system also enables the platform to be totally collapsed if necessary.
Our towable Fixed Height Main Landing Gear Access Platform is 1.3m and can be provided with additional ‘hop up’ steps. These additional steps can be moved around the platform and fixed in place by location holes, determined by the customer. This platform can also be moved into position by one person but is robust enough for a two men working load.
Our Aircraft landing gear applications
Wheel bay access is critical and we ensure the engineers have ideal access, with our platforms carefully designed to fit around the wheel strut. Wheel struts often need to be serviced and so our platforms enable this job to be carried out safely and efficiently. The platform is designed so that the handrails can be removed so that parts can be removed if necessary.
When operating in these areas, space is critical, and there can be a lot of different things going on at the same time. It is important to not only do the job in hand properly but to also do it as efficiently as possible. Our landing gear platforms ensure that engineers can work easily, even in restricted areas.

Product training is also offered to ensure our customers understand how to safely operate the equipment they are using and to ensure they get the most out of the equipment we have provided. We also run courses on both inspection and training to skill your workforce and enable them to be able to carry out regular inspections of the products too.
