Tooling for supporting a nacelle of an aircraft turbojet engine comprising:
- a chassis;
- a support structure extending vertically upward from the chassis;
- and
- a hooking structure rotatably mounted on the support structure and movable in rotation about a horizontal axis for securing the nacelle, the hooking structure defining a longitudinal axis parallel to the horizontal axis and comprising a front segment and a rear segment aligned along the longitudinal axis of the hooking structure, the front segment and the rear segment each having an elongated configuration extending along the longitudinal axis, the hooking structure further including a first device for fastening an air inlet of the nacelle, a second device for fastening a middle section of the nacelle, and a third device for fastening a rear section of the nacelle,
- wherein the second device and the third device each include a longitudinal horizontal beam extending in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hooking structure, the longitudinal horizontal beams of the second and third devices being aligned along a length direction of the longitudinal horizontal beams of the second and third devices parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hooking structure.
