Installing a wing on an aircraft

High‑level precision: Compactkraan Zeeland installs wings on two aircrafts

During a unique and technically challenging assignment, Compactkraan Zeeland demonstrated the power and precision of modern compact cranes. The team was called in to install a wing on two aircrafts: a task where millimetres matter and absolute control is essential.

Strength and precision in one motion

Installing an aircraft wing requires a combination of stability, finesse, and reliable lifting technology. Compactkraan Zeeland used a compact crane that, thanks to its manoeuvrability and precise controls, is perfectly suited for work in and around hangars. The crane was able to position the wings exactly without putting stress on the fuselage or other components.

Working in limited space

Space inside an aircraft hangar is often restricted. Large lifting equipment can be difficult to manoeuvre, but a compact crane offers the perfect solution in such environments. The crane could be positioned close to the aircraft, allowing the wing to be guided step by step to its mounting points.

Safety first

When installing aircraft components, safety is paramount. The combination of experienced operators, precise controls, and stable lifting technology ensured that the wings could be installed without risks. Every movement was carefully coordinated so the wing aligned perfectly with the mounting points.

An impressive display of craftsmanship

The successful installation of the two aircraft wings highlights the versatility of compact cranes within the aviation sector. Whether for maintenance, repair, or assembly, compact lifting solutions provide the flexibility and precision required for this specialised work.
