Configuration Options
Safety & Operation
The basic set consists of two FWD and two AFT pedestals for secure engine support.
FWD and AFT adapters attach to the pedestals to support the engine at the GSE-mounts.
Engine adapter kits include two rear and two front adapters for each engine type.
Engine combinations change by swapping adapters while using the same pedestals.
Nominal 2.6 t capacity supports the specified engines within rated limits.
Mobility & Transport
Spring loaded ball castors (option) enable easy positioning of pedestals under mount points.
Pedestals deploy at front and rear to balance handling during setup.
Adapter kits attach quickly to the basic set for fast changeovers.
Why RH Aero?
Universal Pedestals—Adapter Flexibility
EPS standardizes engine support with a universal four-pedestal layout and cataloged adapter kits. The approach minimizes stored variants, accelerates changeovers, and maintains safe, repeatable setups across Airbus and Boeing fleets. Optional ball castors enhance positioning efficiency so crews stay productive from shop to flight line.
