18T System for handling aero engines
Construction
A system to handle engines during overhauls and repairs. The Solving transporter is fitted with twin drives, powered steering, infinitely variable speed control, and a deadman’s handle to ensure safety at all times. The control system ensures that the transporter always lifts evenly, and automatically adjusts for varying loads and floor conditions.
Advantages
The transporter lifts evenly, and automatically adjusts for varying loads and floor conditions. This means that the operator can concentrate on steering the load without having to constantly adjust the equipment.
Result
GEAES chose Solving air film technology, which enables the world’s largest engines to be moved around the overhaul area smoothly, safely and in the control of a single operator.
