Aircraft maintenance

Industry

Layher is the leader in Aircraft Maintenance industrial scaffolding

Layher Allround Scaffolding was created to satisfy demanding applications in which traditional scaffolding technology cannot be used optimally and economically. This is especially true in the Aircraft Maintenance industry, where unconventional seems to be the norm.

The benefits
for you

Fast.

The lighter components increase the speed of assembly and also transport capacities – that saves real money.

Strong.

Increased loading capacity despite lower weight.

Safer.

Improved occupational safety during assembly thanks to the AutoLock function.

Ergonomic.

Increased height clearance and reduction of physical strain by saving up weight in the system.

Efficient.

Only one standard for supported and suspended scaffolding thanks to integrated spigots. There is no need for time-consuming installation of separate spigots or storage of two different standards.

Planning and scheduling certainty at sites

Dependable 3D planning of Aircraft Docking Systems without collisions with the aircraft is just one of many benefits. Added to that are the realistic visualisation, allowing work to be coordinated with other trades, for maintenance, repair, checks and overhauling.

Benefits for you:

Transparency in all work steps and cost control
Planning and scheduling certainty at every project
3D digital planning for a modular system guarantees best possible adaption to each aircraft type and to your needs

Layher SIM – Scaffolding Information Modeling

Digitalisation optimises project planning effectively, while opening up enormous potential for transparency and cost savings.

Scaffolding Information Modeling – SIM for short – is a process based on 3D models and designed by Layher to meet the specific requirements of designing a Aircraft Docking System. You see what you get and decission and changes can be made, if necessary at an early stage of the design.

The future
in maintenence docks planning is digital – and it’s name is SIM

Layher Aviation Solutions

Tail Dock

Ensures repair, paint and maintanance work of the aircraft‘s horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer and the rudder – with high safety.

Wing Dock

For access to the aircraft flap and fuel systems. It can be easily adapted to the wings inclination. Also cut-outs in the work surface for engines are possible.
Stairs can be positioned to your needs.
Access to leading edge and trailing edge, wing tips, engine and adaption to height.

Fuselage Dock

It ensures access for painting and maintenance work all around the fuselage.
It can be constructed as compact rolling structure or as complete fuselage dock around the whole aircraft body.
By using the Layher docking systems, it‘s also easy to get access for mounting WIFI units on aircrafts fuselage.

Nose Dock

Access to windshield, radome, doors, nose wheels etc.
Possible structures as single section or double section and also mobile solutions available.
Non-slip decks ensure firm stand even on inclined working levels.

Underbelly Dock

For work at the landing gear or other parts at the lower part of the fuselage, underbelly docks with inclined work surfaces and cut-outs e.g. for wheels are possible.
Safe working at exactly the required height optimises the working conditions.
