A client asked whether two fixed tail docks, used to reach the tail sections of passenger jets, could be made adjustable so every aircraft type could be served. We fitted new structural steel to the underside of each dock, made screw jacks and fixed them to the steelwork, then drove them up and down together using an air motor and a series of interlinked gearboxes and drive shafts. The contract covered the complete design of the steelwork, drive system, jacks, a self-adjusting access stair, control and safety systems and limits, plus fabrication and fitting of the entire system.
