APU Stand & Container System

Reliable Protection from Removal to Return-to-Service

The RH Aero Systems APU Stand & Container System delivers an integrated transport and storage solution for auxiliary power units across major aircraft platforms. Built in collaboration with NextGen Aerosupport, the system replaces short-lived wooden crates with a robust, collapsible polymer container and shock-mounted steel stand. Designed for fleet standardization, it enables secure transport, fast access for inspection, and long-term durability while reducing freight volume, FOD risk, and handling injuries.

Keyfeatures

Integrated Stand and Container – One engineered system supports removal, transport, storage, and installation.

Shock-Mounted Steel Frame – Isolates the APU from road and air vibration, minimizing transit damage.

Collapsible Polymer Container – UV-treated, recyclable design cuts freight and storage volume by over 50 %.

Two-Person Access – Lightweight, fold-down panels enable safe inspection and desiccant placement without lifting gear.

OEM-Approved Compatibility – Licensed by Honeywell and compliant with APU specifications for alignment, fit, and restraint geometry.

Highlights

A certified, next-generation container system that protects APUs, reduces freight costs, and standardizes workflows across airline and MRO fleets.

Application Cases
