FIX / FRS – Fixed Height Access Stairs.
A fully configurable fixed-height access platform range, available with conventional or flexible railing systems for safe, aircraft-specific maintenance access.
The NIJL FIX / FRS range provides a flexible platform for creating fixed-height aircraft access equipment around a specific maintenance requirement.
Available in a wide range of working heights, stair widths and platform configurations, each unit can be tailored to the aircraft, access area and operating environment. The modular design makes the range suitable for everything from straightforward routine access to more specialised maintenance applications.
The FIX configuration uses a conventional fixed aluminium handrail and guardrail system, while the FRS version incorporates NIJL’s Flexible Railing System. The FRS can be adjusted at platform level to help engineers gain closer access in areas where space is restricted or where the aircraft geometry makes conventional fixed guarding impractical.
Both ranges can be configured with alternative flooring, mobility, corrosion protection and aircraft-facing protection options, allowing the same core platform concept to be adapted for hangar or apron use.
