DART’s AW139 Heli-Access-Steps are available in both heavy duty and lightweight options. Both variants are stronger than OEM passenger steps currently available, which are prone to cracking near joints and fuselage generating high replacement rates. The fully aluminum construction makes it convenient to install using existing fastener locations and the step does not require permanent modification to the airframe. DART’s new AW139 Quick Release Maintenance Step offers an 85 percent weight and drag reduction within seconds, using a push pin locking system, compared to permanent variants. It also provides a secure work platform composed of sturdy CNC machined components combined with non-slip embossed relief pattern. The Step installs on the left- and/or right-hand side(s) of the aircraft roof, making it ideal to perform safe inspections on main rotor and transmission.
