StandsNow

StandsNow is a jet engine stand supplier based in Irving, Texas, USA. The company says it is not a stand broker. It offers engine shipping and storage solutions, and it sells, leases and manages engine stands for customers. StandsNow is the exclusive marketing arm for Absco Metal Manufacturing and an authorized distributor for other engine stand manufacturers.

Stands can be leased on a short or long term basis, and the company manages stands for customers. StandsNow has a network of stand resellers and stand leasing companies. It also acts as a liaison between the customer and the factory. This lets it make custom changes, such as a stand in a specified color, from one unit to fifty.

The engine stand range covers CFM56-3, CFM56-5 and CFM56-7, V2500, PW2000, PW4000, CF34, CF6 and RB211 engines. The company can also source Tay, JT8D and GE90 stands. The CFM56 stands are built to fit through cargo doors while the engine is mounted. Each stand has shock mounts, plated or stainless steel hardware, fork pockets for handling and a bootstrap capable cradle.

Other services include bootstrap kits, custom manufacturing, repair and refurbishment, storage and maintenance stands, and a changing inventory of used stands. The company also lists CFM56 storage pedestals. Stands are available for immediate shipping upon payment and come with a full manufacturer warranty.

StandsNow offers a five year warranty on parts and a limited lifetime warranty on workmanship for its bootstrap kit mounts. The company says its stands are made in the USA to ASME standards and ISO 9001, and to engine manufacturer specifications. It also lists GE, CFMI, Pratt and IAE specifications, and MilSpec.

The CFM56 stands measure 129 inches long, 96 inches wide and 60 inches high, and weigh about 4,750 pounds. Each stand has removable 12 inch casters with brakes and locking pins. The two piece design uses rubber isolators for ground transport. Tow bars can be ordered with the stand. Buyers should contact the sales department for pricing and availability.
