Maximum precision, safety and reliability for handling sensitive parts
Large parts have to be regularly lifted, turned and positioned on assembly lines in the aviation industry. The process cranes and hoist units that are used in these applications have to provide correspondingly high performance, which has to match the specific requirements precisely. Our solutions to meet these needs pave the way in industry:
- suspension cranes with multiple suspensions to bridge large building spans
- cranes with latching devices for trolley transfer to link various working areas
- cranes with rotating crabs for optimum use of the available space
- telescoping platforms for maintaining, overhauling and applying the paint finish to aircraft
- workshop cranes for turbine maintenance.

The outstanding benefits of our tailored solutions are found in a wide range of applications:
Aircraft production and maintenance
- Efficient solutions thanks to suspension cranes featuring multiple suspensions also with total spans of more than 90 meters
- low loads on the roof superstructure thanks to optimized deadweight
- Favorable hook dimension thanks to low headroom dimension
- maximum utilization of the available space thanks to overhead handling and inherent girder overhang design
- Improved safety and faster transport operations thanks to semi-automated process sequences
- Various working areas can be interlinked by means of interlocking crane systems
Teleplatform for maintenance, overhauls and painting
- Shorter aircraft downtimes thanks to overhead materials handling
- All parts of the aircraft can be accessed
- Platform can be transferred to other parts of the building by latching the crane systems
- Complete supply of all media needed on the working platform
- Integrated safety systems to avoid collisions
