Two Uni-Dock systems and landing gear elevator platforms at the Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW) accommodate American Airlines B-767 and B-777 fleet maintenance.

Uni-Dock and Landing Gear Elevators

An aircraft can be fully docked within an hour of arrival, with the five-story Uni-Dock structure providing safe, simultaneous access to all aircraft components. At the same time, landing gear elevator platforms allow for strut seal maintenance, and landing gear swing checks and heavy maintenance. The Uni-Dock systems and landing gear elevator platforms work in conjunction to significantly reduce the time aircraft spend out of service for maintenance and inspections. A personal computer controls a multitude mechanical drives that move the Uni-Dock components within inches of the aircraft without colliding or damaging it.
