In the fast-paced world of aviation, maintenance efficiency isn’t just a goal – it’s a necessity. Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) teams are constantly under pressure to minimise aircraft downtime while ensuring the highest safety standards. At SafeSmart Access, we understand these challenges, which is why our EasyRaise and UltraRaise platforms are transforming how maintenance crews approach their operations.
Elevate Safety and Efficiency with EasyRaise
The EasyRaise adjustable mobile work platform is designed specifically for the aviation and defence industries, offering quick and adaptable mobile access. Built from high-grade aluminium, the EasyRaise combines strength with manoeuvrability, ensuring compliance with regulatory safety standards.
One of its standout features is the cantilevered platform, which extends further as the height increases. This unique design allows maintenance crews to safely access challenging areas, reducing turnaround time and increasing productivity. With a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 225kg, the platform can accommodate two operatives and their tools, eliminating the need for constant climbing up and down.
Unlike traditional ladders or powered Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs), the EasyRaise requires minimal training and does not rely on third-party mechanical components, reducing ongoing maintenance costs. Additionally, its compact design ensures minimal storage space – an essential consideration for hangars where every square metre counts.
UltraRaise – The Ultimate Aircraft Access Platform
The UltraRaise builds on the EasyRaise concept by incorporating a permanent cantilever for even greater reach and versatility. Designed for complex maintenance tasks, it is particularly suited for accessing overwing and fuselage areas – zones that typically present challenges for maintenance crews.
With a working height of up to 7mH, the UltraRaise is ideal for both commercial aircraft and defence aviation facilities. The platform features an optional looped guardrail attachment, creating a safe, enclosed workspace with edge protection, allowing operatives to work efficiently around aircraft components without compromising on safety.
Both the EasyRaise and UltraRaise Enable Access To:
- Underwing
- Overwing
- Cargo Doors
- Stabiliser (Stab) Bay
- Engine Access
- Windscreen/Windshield
- Avionics Bay
- Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
Minimising Aircraft Damage and Downtime
MEWPs, while commonly used, can increase the risk of accidental damage to sensitive aircraft components due to their powered, erratic movement and limited manoeuvrability. SafeSmart’s platforms, on the other hand, provide a stable, controlled access solution that eliminates these risks.
By offering non-powered, precision-engineered access, the EasyRaise and UltraRaise reduce the likelihood of accidental aircraft contact while enhancing worker safety. Additionally, by removing the need for extensive training or spotters – common requirements for MEWPs – our platforms improve operational efficiency, ultimately reducing maintenance time and increasing aircraft availability.
