Boeing replaces wooden platforms with Lobo Systems

Boeing is using Lobo Systems' modular, reconfigurable access platforms instead of traditional bespoke wooden stands.

Boeing was aware that its research and development activities required that engineers build wooden platform stands to reach parts of an aircraft.

These monolithic wooden structures have a fixed height and cannot be made wider or narrower without major rework.

They have to be tailor made for each project and are difficult to transport around the facility.

Typically they often become redundant, once the project comes to an end.

Lobo Systems' safe and secure platform product has a patented clamp that allows the system to be assembled without the use of tools into any size or shape.

Boeing engineers can reconfigure the system, adapting it from one project to another with ease.

By fitting wheel kits the system can be transported throughout the facility.

The system can be assembled, disassembled and reassembled quickly.

Easy to flat pack and transportable in a crate.

The versatility of the Lobo System brings cost and waste reduction, enhanced efficiency and performance together with a safer working environment.

Its transportability means it can be used anywhere in the world and erected by anyone.

This means aviation mechanics can erect the system to their exact requirements thus saving on labour costs.

The Lobo System creates a safe working environment, which increases productivity and maximizes the return on investment.
