Champion GSE has developed a dual-purpose stand for both the -1B and -2B GEnx engine platforms from GE. Features of the Stronghold stand were designed to increase personnel safety, usability, and function. These features include hydraulic, automated casters and shock isolation mount; onboard storage for all tools and parts; industrial nonslip material coating to replace no-skid strips; and improved rigidity. Champion also brought new machining capabilities in-house to manufacture affiliated ground support equipment products, while still meeting demanding lead times and stringent customer qualifications.
