Diverse Supply provides one of the most extensive selections of aircraft maintenance platforms and stands in the industry. Our product line includes B1, B2, B4, B5, B7, and multiple modified aircraft maintenance stands, full-wrap platforms for aircraft like the F-16, F-35, C-130, and KC-135, as well as helicopter maintenance platforms, radome stands, windshield maintenance stands, cockpit access stands, wing inspection ladders, wheel-well ladders, and towable passenger stairs. Whether you’re servicing jets, turboprops, helicopters, or military aircraft, we have solutions designed for safety, ergonomics, and long-term durability.

Most aircraft maintenance ladders and platforms are constructed from high-grade aluminum, making them lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maneuver on the ramp or in a hangar. Aluminum is the preferred choice across aviation maintenance because it offers strength without unnecessary weight. Many models also include steel components for reinforcement, anti-slip steps, OSHA-compliant guardrails, and heavy-duty casters for mobility.

Yes. All aircraft maintenance ladders, platforms, and stands supplied by Diverse Supply are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA and aviation-industry safety requirements. This includes compliant step angles, guardrails, slip-resistant surfaces, load ratings, and proper platform access. Many models are also designed to align with FAA facility standards and military specifications for ground support equipment (GSE).

Absolutely. While we offer a large number of standard models, many aircraft maintenance platforms can be modified or configured to match exact aircraft contours, working heights, or maintenance requirements. Customizations may include adjustable platform heights, specialized deck cutouts, extended guardrails, towable bases, or unique footprints for tight hangar spaces. Whether you need a custom stand for radome access, an aviation-specific deicing platform, or a full wrap-around set for military aircraft, our team can help you find or configure the right solution.

Our aircraft maintenance stands and ladders are built for a wide range of aviation tasks, including:

• Engine inspections and repairs

• Wing and rotor inspections

• Cockpit and windshield access

• Fuselage and tail maintenance

• Wheel and brake service

• Radome and nose servicing

• Cargo door and lavatory access

• Passenger boarding

• Deicing operations

These platforms are designed to improve worker safety, accessibility, and efficiency in routine maintenance, repair, and ground operations.

Choosing the right maintenance platform depends on several factors:

• The aircraft model(s) you maintain

• Required working height or deck height

• Maintenance tasks performed (radome access, wing inspection, tail maintenance, etc.)

• Indoor vs. outdoor use

• Whether mobility or towability is required

• Space constraints inside the hangar

• Safety or regulatory requirements

Our team can review your maintenance needs and recommend the appropriate stand, whether that’s a standard B1/B4 stand, a full wrap-around system, a deicing platform, or a custom-configured maintenance ladder.

Yes. To maintain OSHA compliance and ensure ongoing worker safety, aircraft maintenance stands and ladders should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, loose hardware, damaged casters, worn anti-slip surfaces, or corrosion. Aluminum platforms require minimal upkeep but should still be cleaned and checked periodically, especially in environments exposed to weather, deicing fluids, or aviation chemicals. Routine maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your equipment and prevents unexpected downtime.

Absolutely. Aircraft maintenance equipment varies widely by aircraft type, task, and facility layout, which is why our team is available to help you compare models, understand OSHA requirements, determine deck heights, and choose the most economical option for your operation. We can walk you through available configurations, provide freight quotes, and assist with selecting platforms for FBOs, MRO facilities, military bases, and aviation repair centers. Our goal is to ensure you get the safest and most effective maintenance platform for your aircraft and crew.
