Access for Helicopter Maintenance, Assembly & Ground Support
Unfortunately, one of the significant causes of helicopter accidents is maintenance or lack thereof. By the very nature of their design, helicopters rely heavily on routine maintenance to keep them safely in the air. While also saving lives and preventing accidents, regular maintenance gives pilots peace of mind and reduces repair costs.
To help maintenance go smoothly and safely, having a reliable way to access the mechanics of the helicopter is crucial. If a helicopter mechanic feels unstable while checking on or replacing parts, his or her attention will not be solely on the task at hand.
SafeRack’s line of AeroStep rolling stairs and maintenance platforms for helicopters is the solution to make the mechanic feel utterly safe and secure while maintaining your helicopter.
