Our hop-up platform applications
All our hop up platforms are designed to provide that ‘extra’ height when just a little height is required. It is extremely important that maintenance engineers can carry out their work safety and over-reaching can put the engineers at risk. Therefore, hop up platforms and steps overcome this issue and are simple and lightweight to manoeuvre into position. They can make a maintenance task much easier very quickly.
For engineers carrying out maintenance on aircraft, our range of hop up platforms and steps can help them access various areas of the aircraft including the fan cowl, stab bay, avionics bays and general engine access.
