Engine Stands
Our engine stands support loads up to 25,000kg with precision rotation and adjustable height features. Designed for aerospace and automotive applications, these stands improve safety while reducing manual handling risks. The equipment enables 360-degree horizontal and 90-degree vertical manipulation for efficient engine assembly and repair operations.
Welding Positioners
Mobile and floor-mounted welding positioners handle components up to 5000kg with variable speed rotation. These units increase productivity in fabrication shops by enabling optimal weld positioning. Available with manual or powered operation for diverse manufacturing requirements.
Special Gearbox Units
Manual and motorised gearbox units combine durability with precision engineering for aerospace and industrial applications. Customisable designs support loads up to 3000kg with torsional capacities reaching 10,000Nm. All units carry the same comprehensive guarantee as our major handling products.
Workpiece Manipulators
Scissor lifts, jib cranes, and turnover stands facilitate safe handling of heavy components up to 6000kg. These manipulators improve workplace safety while enhancing production efficiency across multiple industries including modular construction and aircraft manufacturing.
Sub-Contract Services
With 60 years' manufacturing experience, we offer machining, fabrication, and special machinery production. Our CNC facilities handle complex components while maintaining ISO 9002 quality standards for precision engineering requirements.
