Height safety and access systems for the sustainment of Australian and allied defence assets, from base infrastructure to aircraft hangars and naval platforms
Sustainment-grade height safety for defence platforms and facilities
Defence sustainment work demands access systems that meet operational, compliance and security requirements without compromise. Our systems support maintenance of aircraft, ground vehicles, naval platforms and base infrastructure, designed in close collaboration with sustainment personnel and end users.
Every system is engineered to AS 1657. For platform-specific applications, we work to the relevant Defence and OEM technical standards specified in the sustainment contract.
Defence base infrastructure
Compliant access for the maintenance of hangars, workshops, fuel facilities and critical base infrastructure, designed alongside base operations and engineering teams.
Aircraft sustainment
Custom rigid rails and fall arrest systems for aircraft maintenance, including platform-specific designs for fast jet and rotary wing fleets that match airframe geometry.
Ships and naval platforms
Height safety and fall protection for the maintenance of naval vessels and shore-based naval infrastructure, supporting fleet readiness and dockside sustainment operations.

Case study
RAAF Base, Williamtown NSW
RAAF Base Williamtown in New South Wales is Australia’s leading fighter pilot training facility and home to the majority of the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter fleet.
Project Scale & Specs
Large-scale F-35A maintenance hangars.
System Supplied
Custom Rigid 130 rail bent to follow the exact contours of the airframe, providing continuous overhead fall protection for maintenance technicians. Custom self-cleaning trolleys with side brushes reduce the risk of swarf and debris falling onto the aircraft below.
