for decks, stairs and sliders as an option to prolong the length of
usage of the stand to many years of service. "
By using maintenance stands, aircraft technicians can be at
the height where maintenance is needed on the aircraft, and all
their tooling and parts are on the deck of the stand. FlexDecks
platforms have been found to reduce worker fatigue by 97 percent
and maintenance time by 40 percent, and turnaround time on the
aircraft can go from months to weeks.

Then they are shopping again for stands. "
Croff recommends ask for pictures and references, and ask what
makes one company stand out more than another. She said also
ask about warranty, customer service and setup teams.
A lot of companies make stands, she said. " It really depends on
what you want, need, requirements, usage, how much time will
you be on this stand in a workday, what do you need to make your
job easier, " she said. " FlexDecks takes pride in manufacturing the
stands we deliver to our customers, we want to be the best, and
we want our customers happy every time they look and work on
our stands. "
