Solving Real Maintenance Challenges
Aircraft present unique access challenges—irregular shapes, varying heights, and tight hangar spaces. Off-the-shelf platforms are rarely suitable. Safetylyne’s systems are designed to solve key problems:
- Inconsistent or unsafe access to high or hard-to-reach aircraft areas
- Time-consuming setups with rigid or incompatible equipment
- Space limitations in busy hangars or multi-aircraft environments
- Non-compliant solutions that put workers and operations at risk
Our docking systems are engineered for operational efficiency, safety, and adaptability—minimising downtime while protecting your people and your assets.

For helicopter maintenance operations, Safetylyne provides modular aluminium docking platforms and stair access systems specifically designed for safe and efficient servicing of rotor assemblies, engine compartments, and fuselage sections.
These systems are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built for frequent use in both indoor hangars and outdoor maintenance zones. Each platform is custom-built to suit the shape and dimensions of the aircraft, with height-adjustable features that allow for precise alignment to maintenance zones. Whether for routine inspection or complex repairs, our solutions support stable, compliant, and ergonomic access for technicians.
For tasks requiring access above the rotor line or onto the top of the aircraft, explore our Overhead Rail Systems - engineered to provide secure walking paths and fall protection for maintenance personnel working at height.
