Narrow Body Nose Dock with Avionics Level.
A configurable split-platform nose docking system providing safe, height-adjustable access to the complete nose section and avionics bay of narrowbody aircraft.
The NIJL Narrow Body Nose Dock is designed to provide comprehensive access around the forward section of narrowbody aircraft while maintaining a compact and flexible hangar footprint.
The system consists of separate left- and right-hand platforms, making the dock easier to manoeuvre and position around the aircraft. Height-adjustable working levels provide access to the nose skin, radome, probes, cockpit windows and forward passenger door, while dedicated lower-level access allows engineers to reach the avionics bay.
Extendable floor sections and adjustable handrails follow the aircraft contours, allowing the working area to be closed around the fuselage once the aircraft is positioned. This provides close, protected access while retaining flexibility for different aircraft positions and maintenance configurations.
Each dock can be configured around the customer’s fleet, hangar layout and maintenance requirements, with options for platform layout, height adjustment, flooring, utilities, lighting and equipment handling.
