Electrically Powered Hydraulic Lift System for Spacecraft Manufacturing

Successful completion of our initial project with a leading spacecraft manufacturer, led to collaboration on a similar application involving a smaller rocket engine.

Background: Following the successful completion of our initial project with this spacecraft manufacturer, we were approached for a similar application involving a smaller rocket engine.

Project Scope: The lift system for this project requires a mobile scissors lift to elevate and position the engine crawler onto the test stand.

Unlike the first project, which utilized an air-powered transport system, this new design features an electrically powered hydraulic system for lifting. The transport mechanism includes joystick-operated hydraulic drive wheels, ensuring precise and efficient movement.
