RollaStep TR-Series unit for safe reliable helicopter engine access

Helicopters are a type of rotary-wing aircraft, meaning that they lift off and land vertically using a set of rotating blades. The helicopter’s versatility is unparalleled, which makes it a favorite among air transport vehicles as they can take off and land in much smaller spaces than traditional airplanes. Helicopters are used extensively in military and law enforcement operations, search and rescue, medical evacuation, and disaster relief. They are also commonly used for newsgathering, traffic reporting, and carrying tourists on sightseeing trips. In recent years, helicopters have even been used as aerial taxi services or to deliver goods in urban areas, circumventing congested streets and saving time. Helicopters are an excellent solution for any company that needs to get some of its logistics nightmares solved. The versatility makes them an appealing alternative for many business owners who need quick transport across difficult terrain or over large distances without relying on roads.



A helicopter engine is a critical component of any helicopter, and regular maintenance is essential to keeping the aircraft in good working condition. However, accessing it for repair and maintenance can be a challenge. In most cases, the engine is located behind the helicopter’s main rotor blades, making it difficult to reach. For this reason, safely and effectively accessing its engine requires special tools and skills than what traditional ladders can provide. The helicopter’s landing skids are added to the height, making it inevitable for maintenance workers to step on a work platform with ladders when conducting repairs and maintenance work.

Not only for climbing, but workers can also conveniently move tilt and roll ladders from one spot to another. This ladder type was designed so that you could take them anywhere without worrying about stability or dragging issues with other kinds of platforms while still providing a stable work surface. Rather than carrying a metal ladder horizontally or requiring two or more workers to lift it, tilt and roll ladders can be tilted onto one side and then wheeled on their rollers. Mimicking the wheelbarrow motion makes maneuverability much easier, especially in tight spaces. Because they are so easy to move around, tilt and roll ladders are often used in industrial settings where there is a lot of movement of materials or machinery.

The benefits of using a rolling tilt and roll ladder are great, but what makes them so special? The main thing is that they’re easy to haul around by wheeling them across the facility. You can take this convenient equipment with you around the helicopter and use it when needed without worrying about getting an additional load on your back or shoulders! Here are other advantages of tilt and roll ladders:

These ladders are often made of lightweight aluminum and powder-coated for added rust protection — always ready to roll when a helicopter’s engine has wiring troubles or any problem! No doubt, great for rapid action and emergencies, compared to foldable ladders that workers need to lug around from storage and secure in position for a safe climb.

The helicopter engine is a marvel of engineering and is crucial for the safe operation of this aircraft. Helicopter engines are complex machines requiring regular maintenance and repair to function properly. Various helicopter engine parts must be kept in working order, including the rotor blades, the fuel system, and the ignition system. In addition, helicopter engines must withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures generated during their flight. Maintaining a helicopter is a breeze with tilt and roll ladders. With the right equipment, they’re an excellent way to maintain your chopper and keep everyone safe while doing maintenance or repairs on board!
