Gradin is proud of its history of providing specialized lifting equipment to the Aerospace industry. We have partnered with the top aerospace manufacturers to design lifting solutions for the manufacturing of aircraft, repair, maintenance, and assembly. Gradin has the technical expertise and manufacturing capability to help you develop an effective and reliable custom equipment solution.

Experience & Expertise

Typical lifting & handling solutions Gradin has designed & manufactured for the Aerospace Industry include:

Jet Engine Test Cell Lifts

High travel scissor lift and heavy-duty ram lift configurations raise large wheeled carts carrying jet engines to the fixtures near the top of the test cell.

High Travel Work Platform Lifts

Fixed and portable scissor lifts, with and without adjustable shuttle decks, provide assembly personnel variable vertical and lateral access to all surfaces of a wing and its tool during assembly and inspection.

Fuselage Positioning Lifts

Multiple portable hydraulic scissor lifts working in tandem to provide variable working heights of the entire jet fuselage.

Satellite Storage and Launching Lift

Portable, adjustable scissor tables move and position satellites between storage and launch facilities.

Lightweight Personnel Work Platforms

Lightweight fixed and portable scissor lifts reduce overall weight for ease of manual positioning by personnel. This reduction in weight is also critical on the cantilevered work platforms used to access fuselage sections during assembly.

Jet Engine Assembly Lifts

Stacked scissor lifts or single ram platform lifts are used to ergonomically position a jet engine standing on end, lowering it into a recessed pit while workers stand on and work from the adjacent, fixed floor level.
