Nose docking solutions can be fixed or mobile and, as the name says, provide access to the nose of an aircraft. Our docking solutions are manufactured from lightweight aluminium and have either wide or narrow platform areas depending on the requirement. The platforms can also be fitted with sliding fingers so that they fit the profile of the nose of the aircraft and afford an extended working area. These bespoke designs are developed in consultation with the customer to ensure the exact requirements are met.

Nose Docking Solutions are designed to suit the customer’s requirements and so are usually bespoke products. However, all our platforms and docking solutions are manufactured from lightweight aluminium and have castors and stability jacks to enable the docking systems to be moved and locked into position.
Typhoon Maintenance Access Platform

This platform is not specifically a nose docking system but it provides easy access to the cockpit and installation points of a single and twin seater aircraft. The height of this platform can be adjusted easily using the hydraulic cylinder and hand pump.
Our Nose Dock applications
Our nose docking solutions are suitable for use with commercial and military aircraft. They are usually a permanent fixture and used to carry out extensive work to an aircraft and enable the engineers to access the nose of the aircraft easily and safely. The platforms can be wide or narrow depending on the working requirement and some of the docking solutions can be fitted with extending fingers that follow the contours of the aircraft.
