Summary:Various embodiments include apparatuses (2, 12) for performing maintenance on a gas turbine bearing area (14), along with related methods. One apparatus (2, 12) can include: a set of rails (20) sized to couple with the gas turbine (6) and rest coaxially with a bearing (13, 15) adjacent the gas turbine (6), the set of rails (20) for supporting a portion of a housing (18) of the bearing (13, 15); a first platform (28) spanning between the set of rails (20); a lifting device (30) coupled to the first platform (28) for engaging an inlet bellmouth (17) of the gas turbine (6); and a second platform (32) suspended from the set of rails (20) sized to accommodate an operator.
