B737 Classics and NG left hand side dock is providing access to:
- Pilot passenger door,
- Cockpit,
- Lateral windshield.
This nose docking includes A320 family multi-capability as well.
This dock offers a good access performance for light maintenance with a limited budget and may be complemented later on with a right hand side module in order to create progressively a heavy maintenance docking system.
The nose docks is designed to fit aircraft on wheels as well as on jacks thanks to a hydraulic elevation system combined to the use of sliding panels. Aircraft jacks are integrated in the dock design avoiding so any interference between the structure of the dock and the jacks.
Light weight rigid structure:
- Easy to move,
- Easy to place in contact with the aircraft,
- With a limited foot print.
Guardrail gate located right in front of PAX door can be opened to remove cabin interior items directly from the PAX doors onto the handling equipment (forklift, scissor lift).
Access from the ground floor into the docks is provided by adjustable-in-height stairways.
