"TOM
REACH" is specifically designed for aircraft maintenance, as man access
for locations difficult to reach with conventional access equipment, including
access to the confined spaces in the landing gear wheel well of Boeing
747 around the shock strut and drag strut (figure 1). "TOM REACH"
is self propelled. The design is very compact, which makes it maneuverable,
agile and expandable to heights, reaching above or around obstacles,
while the machine base is stationary. "TOM REACH"
provides the mechnic or serviceman precise positioning for a comfortable,
safe working location.
