Specializing in Customized Aircraft Maintenance Stands and platforms, Factory Supply has been recognized as an industry leader in quality, service, support, and innovation. Our standard and custom solutions allow maintenance personnel to work both safely and efficiently while protecting the aircraft. Our Maintenance Platforms include anti-fatigue ladder steps rather than narrow ladder rungs, ensuring comfort when changing LRUs, adjusting components, or connecting/disconnecting engines and nacelles. Functionality is enhanced through a lighter design, smaller footprint, and improved geometry. Several operators, MROs, and aircraft manufacturers currently use these stands. Our access and maintenance stands are constructed with premium American materials and components, while exceeding all regulatory requirements, including OSHA and ANSI.
