Colonial Viper Landing Bay Work Platform

[Sandman5]

Can anyone identify this 8 step wheeled/portable maintenance ladder ramp from the Galactica original 1978 series? I have had no luck with numerous internet searches. Thank you.

Sandman5,

I have been looking into this for many years now myself. The closest I have been able to find is the B-1 aircraft stand. The modern versions have a different wheel set up from the ones used on the show but are essentially the same. They added a different top platform so the stand could be used along side of the Viper and only used one hand guide rail, sometimes with no guide rail. I have photos of several other examples should you need them. No one make a kit of the stand that I have been able to find.
