B737 NG / MAX engine tooling and ground support equipment
The CFM56-7B is the exclusive powerplant on the Boeing 737 NG family (737-600 / -700 / -800 / -900) and continues service on the 737 MAX as the CFM LEAP-1B's predecessor in many MRO operations. 145GSE manufactures the full range of in-service CFM56-7B tooling — fan section disassembly fixtures, LPT module handling stands, HPC borescope kits, fan blade transport racks, and engine transportation dollies — to OEM-equivalent specifications. Most catalog items ship within 4–8 weeks; rush production is available on a case-by-case basis.

Fan section work — fan blade installation, fan disk balancing, spinner cone alignment — accounts for ~30% of CFM56-7B shop visits. We supply OEM-equivalent fan blade installation fixtures, fan disk balancing stands, and torque-controlled blade-to-disk attachment kits with full calibration certificates traceable to NIST masters.
Low-pressure turbine (LPT) and high-pressure compressor (HPC) module handling requires specialized stands, lifting yokes, and rotation rigs. Our LPT module stands carry full structural certifications and are designed for shock-isolation transport between teardown and overhaul stations. HPC borescope inspection kits cover all standard inspection ports with calibrated reach tools.
Complete CFM56-7B engine transport stands and dollies (often called engine cradles) ship with shock-isolated mounts, certified lifting points, and ISPM-15 export crating. Long-term storage stands include desiccant ports and canvas covers. Custom transport configurations for narrow-body cargo holds available with 8–10 week lead time.
Send drawings, a worn sample, or a part-number list — an engineer reviews every inquiry and replies within 48 hours. Custom CFM56-7B tooling is built to drawing on a 8–14 week lead time.
