The aerospace industry is engaged in the research, development, repair, and manufacturing of various types of flight vehicles. It relies on advanced materials engineering with standards developed by international bodies for materials and processes. This industry consistently faces unique material handling and storage challenges, as it requires a large number of parts and components in different sizes and styles. Therefore, there is a significant demand for efficient and cost-effective storage and organization of these parts, ensuring the efficient and safe movement of complex components and assemblies.
This industry has unique equipment requirements compared to other sectors due to the size and complexity of the parts being stored and transported. For instance, Tooling Rotisseries are designed for precise rotation and positioning of large and heavy aerospace components during assembly and manufacturing. Service Deployment Systems are used to transport equipment, tools, and personnel to remote or hard-to-reach areas within aircraft production facilities. An Engine Dress Bay Lifting System is a custom-designed lifting solution for handling and positioning aircraft engines during maintenance, testing, and assembly. Engine Test Cells are enclosed environments for testing and evaluating aircraft engines, often featuring specialized material handling systems for component transportation and positioning, while cowling carts transport and position aircraft cowlings which protect engines and other aircraft components during flight. A more common item in this industry is a Hydraulic Lift, mainly used for safely raising and lowering large aerospace components.
These equipment solutions are engineered to meet the unique requirements of aerospace manufacturers, ensuring the safe handling and processing of sensitive components throughout the production cycle. By reducing waste, increasing safety, and adding standardization, these material handling equipment solutions can expedite processing and production, enabling facilities to take on more orders confidently.
For the aerospace industry, specialized material handling equipment is essential to ensure safe and efficient processing and production of components. By investing in this specialized equipment, manufacturers can optimize their operations, reduce costs, and maintain the highest level of quality and safety for their products. Many manufacturers offer standard and customized solutions for boosting efficiency, such as engineered crane and monorail systems which include complete lines of components, systems, and parts. Aerospace components require stable and reliable storage and transportation conditions to minimize the risk of damage. Carrying solutions feature bumpers, soft coverings, and coatings to protect equipment from metal-on-metal contact. These systems are designed to improve productivity, reduce waste, maximize space, and reduce job-related injuries, enabling facilities to take on more orders with confidence.
