Aviation Platforms
Spika's line of aircraft maintenance platforms are inarguably the highest quality, best designed fall protection stands available to the commercial and military industries today. These platforms allow the maintenance technician to access upper-level service zones efficiently, improving overall productivity while providing critical fall protection and assuring a safe work environment in accordance with OSHA 1910.

Watch an interview with Dick Aspinwall, an aviation maintenance contractor in a facility that uses Spika's UH-1N Phase Maintenance Platform. This is not a scripted interview, and Mr. Aspinwall was not compensated for his appearance in the video. |
We entered the maintenance platform arena with the belief that much of the equipment being fielded was poorly designed and manufactured, and that the aviation maintainers deserved much better. Over the course of the past several years, we have worked with many military and general aviation folks to better understand the challenges they face, the shortcomings of past equipment, and the features and capabilities they desire. Using this information, we tasked our design team with developing a line of work stands and platforms that met and exceeded those defined requirements. The result is what many believe to be the best built, best designed systems available, incorporating features introduced by and found only on Spika products, such as:
- Clothing- and skin-friendly work surfaces that are solid, free from "sponginess" and flexing
- Telescopic leg assemblies with lifetime-lubricated bushings, providing far superior stability and durability
- Cam-lock railing attachments, offering fully-captured hardware on a firm, secure powdercoated rail, easily removed or relocated in seconds without tools or lost parts
- Highly effective and efficient all-at-once pneumatic slider locking system
- Simple, fast, and secure Quick-Latch module connecting system, eliminating the need to line up pins or clamps
- Model options offering quick-disassembly/reassembly designs that allow consolidated crating and fast setup/break down
- One, two, and even three feet of height adjustability possible
- More stable, smooth acting adjustable variable-pitch stair sets that accommodate greater height variances without the bottom step raising off the ground
- Great versatility in configuration options that allow the user to position stairs and modules to best fit their floor space
- Bridge spans that truly are engineered to support 4x their load rating, with physical load tests and computer analysis to back it up
- Manual, hydraulic, or electric powered height adjustment options
We believe in our products here at Spika, and we're confident that the initial cost of a well-designed, high quality work platform is easily offset by higher productivity, better quality workmanship, and superior fall protection. Whether you need a complete phase maintenance system for a helicopter, a daily maintenance platform for a fixed-wing aircraft, or a multi-application work stand for use throughout your facility, you are certain to find what you need at Spika.
