Tail Staging Units/Tail Docks for Larger Aircrafts such as the Bombardier Global Express are designed in three mobile sections due to the large 12m x 7.5m tapered footprint. These have three working levels to aid manoeuvrability and steps are integrated into the central unit which is positioned from the rear of the aircraft.
On site familiarisation training sessions are included to give companies complete control over the system's movements, thus increasing productivity and efficiency of operations without compromising the safety of personnel.
A predominantly flat packed design approach provides obvious logistic benefits as well as product storage and deployment opportunities.
The construction profiles the tail of the aircraft to reduce the overall footprint leading to easier manoeuvrabilty and also minimising valuable hangar floor space.
The use of removable infill platforms on the upper and Intermediate levels allows ample space for the neccessary rudder movement. They also reduce the risk of damage to the aircraft by benefiting manoeuvrability when removed; whilst also maintaining a safe working environment when reinstated.
Tool racks, airline points and power outlets can also be included to aid the operators and thus reducing the likelihood of any slips, trips and falls.
