The aircraft gantry has been designed to fit the triple stile TAL ladders and to be operated whilst deployed from a vehicle platform. The swivel mechanism provides flexibility of use and will adapt to the required angle needed for deployment. A set of etended arms are also available for the Boeing 747 for added stability (not shown).
Although initially designed for aircraft use, the front nosebar can be removed to reveal wheels to deploy the gantry against a wall, and to allow ease of extension.
