Application Cases
Line & Base Maintenance – Cowl removal and installation for A320-family, 737 NG/MAX, and 757 aircraft in hangar or ramp environments.
AOG Response – Rapid deployment where crane access is limited, enabling controlled nose-cowl handling directly at the stand.
Configuration Options
Safety & Operation
The dolly enables nose-cowl handling without overhead crane assistance, reducing complexity in the load path.
A braked caster system keeps the unit stationary during coupling and uncoupling of the cowl.
Integrated padding and retention mechanisms protect sensitive cowl edges during movement and positioning.
Lightweight build and defined ergonomics allow one-person movement where procedures permit.
Mobility & Transport
A footprint of 2,134 mm × 2,737 mm supports maneuvering in typical hangar and tow-lane corridors.
Fold-down design and compact shipping dimensions reduce transport cost and storage space.
Tow-bar compatibility and swivel casters enable efficient repositioning by tug or manual movement.
Durability & Corrosion Protection
High-grade aluminum frame withstands repeated loading and transport cycles in operational environments.
Powder-coated finish protects against hydraulic fluid, fuel, de-icing agents, and general hangar exposure.
Robust structure is optimized to retain form and function over many load and unload cycles.
