Universal Nose Dock.
A multi-aircraft nose docking system providing safe, efficient access to narrowbody and widebody aircraft from a single compact platform.
The NIJL Universal Nose Dock is designed to support both narrowbody and widebody maintenance operations within one integrated access system.
A dual-level platform arrangement provides dedicated working heights for different aircraft types, helping reduce the overall hangar footprint while maintaining clear access around the nose section. Height-adjustable platforms, extendable floors and adjustable railings allow the dock to be positioned closely around the aircraft in both wheels-on and jacked configurations.
The system provides access to key maintenance areas including the nose skin, probes, cockpit windows, forward passenger door and fuselage crown, while maintaining space for multiple engineers, tools and equipment.
