We Solve Industry Challenges
Seven decades of elite experience has uniquely positioned Autoquip to tackle the various challenges in the Aerospace field. Discover our library of case studies, design options, and successful lifting solutions that have achieved successful outcomes for our customers.
1. Spacecraft Manufacturing & Testing
Our Air-Powered Transport Lift is an application designed specifically to work with an engine crawler table capable of positioning a rocket engine to a test stand. The unit lifts the rocket engine from ground level and places it onto the crawler table. Leveraging a scissor lift mechanism and the mobile base provides the operator with the ultimate positioning flexibility.
2. Test Cells & Specialized Maintenance
With a capacity of 6,000 pounds and a platform measuring 324” by “504”, The Quad Platform Lift is one of Autoquip’s largest. It features four hydraulically-actuated pit mounted Tork 1 scissor lifts under the platform with cable transducers (1 per leg set) to provide the controller’s travel feedback. This durable lift is ideal for customers managing test cells or performing specialized maintenance.
3. Aerospace Tooling Solutions
Autoquip solves complex tooling requirements by designing custom tilters to streamline operations. We created a custom 90-degree Upender Tilter per our customers’ exact specifications. The unit features a double-load locking device and taller platform sides. The design delivers an ergonomic solution that improves efficiency, safety, and technician satisfaction.
4. Automated Scaffolding for Jet Assembly
When a customer requested a 360-degree scaffold lift system to improve their jet engine inlet operation, Autoquip delivered. The unit consists of multiple platform lifts. One at the center is positioned inside the inlet tooling. Two sets of quad lift platforms are used to construct the outer scaffolding. This design provides workers with the ability to complete the inlet assembly process safely.
5. Lift Equipment Status Monitoring
Create and maintain a streamlined and safe working environment by installing a custom monitoring solution. The AQ Connect Smart Controls System intelligently monitors your equipment, performs diagnostics, and provides essential system feedback to keep your operations running smoothly.
