CFM56 Engine Stand Leasing: Streamline Your Maintenance Workflow

The CFM56 engine family powers over half of the world’s narrow-body aircraft, from Boeing 737s to Airbus A320s. Maintaining these workhorses requires precision—and the right equipment. Aero Stands’ CFM56 Engine Stand leasing program delivers certified tools that minimize downtime while maximizing workflow flexibility. This guide explores how our solutions are engineered to handle the CFM56-5A, -5B, and -7B variants, with leasing terms tailored for MROs, airlines, and lessors.

Why Lease Instead of Buy? The Operational Advantage

Owning engine stands ties up capital and locks you into static technology. Leasing through National Aero Stands offers dynamic benefits:

  • Zero Upfront Costs: Redirect $85,000–$120,000 (average purchase price) to core operations
  • Always Updated: Access the latest safety features and compliance upgrades
  • Scalability: Adjust stand quantities for seasonal demand spikes

CFM56 Engine Stand Design: Built for Heavy-Duty Performance

Co-developed with CFM International engineers, our stands tackle the CFM56’s 5,000+ kg weight and complex accessory mounts. Key features include:

FeatureSpecification
Max Load Capacity6,200 kg (supports engine + rigging)
Frame MaterialAerospace-grade aluminum alloy (AS9100-certified)
Mobility360° rotating casters with hydraulic locking
CompatibilityCFM56-5A, -5B, -7B, and Leap 1A/1B retrofit kits

How Leasing Minimizes Turnaround Time

Traditional ownership often means waiting weeks for stand modifications. With leasing:

  1. Pre-Configured Units: Stands arrive calibrated for your engine variant
  2. 24/7 Support: On-call technicians resolve issues within 4 hours
  3. Swap Flexibility: Exchange stands for different models mid-lease
