S.A.F.E. Structure Designs recently announced an order for OSHA compliant maintenance stands for the MH-65 aircraft for the U.S. Coast Guard Sector, Humboldt Bay, California. The safety first ergonomic stands allow technicians safe access to the engines, transmission and main rotor assembly. The USCG also purchased another custom work platform for maintenance access to the tail boom and tail rotor. This stand can also be moved around to access other areas of the aircraft. The stands are equipped with the latest features including anti-fatigue mat and four-inch deep tool trays to increase comfort and efficiency. The stands are light weight and easy to move around. These stands provide a large work platform for added safety and will be used for all routine maintenance.
