摘要

A mobile maintenance stand (10) for servicing and transporting ejection seats (14) utilized in aircraft includes a mobile platform (20) having disposed thereon upright arms (12) adapted to encompass an ejection seat (14) and rotatable to expose the various portions thereof for servicing and maintenance of the wiring, electronics, etc. disposed therein. The platform (20) is rotatable 360 degrees in a horizontal plane with the upright arms (12) rotatable 270 degrees in a verticle plane and is mounted on a lower portion (22) provided with wheels (40, 42, 44, 46) disposed at the distal ends of outwardly extending arms (32, 34, 36, 38). The arms may be extended to provide additional stability and removable screw jacks (72, 74,76, 78) are attachable on the arms to provide a rigid stable platform. Additionally included on the rotating base platform is a removable telescoping crane assembly (100) that may be attached to an ejection seat disposed in an aircraft for removing the seat therefrom and placing it in position to be retained by the pair of servicing arms.
