LootahLemmens has completed the engineering, supply, and installation of five overhead cranes as part of a turnkey project for a newly built aircraft maintenance and revamping hangar in the United Arab Emirates. This project highlights our capability to deliver specialized lifting solutions for industries where precision, safety, and reliability are critical.

Complete Project Scope

The scope of work covered the entire package, including:

• Engineering, delivery, and installation of five overhead travelling cranes with lifting capacities of 5.5 tons and 7.5 tons.
• Design, fabrication, and installation of the runway system, ensuring seamless integration of multiple crane units.
• Commissioning of electric wire rope hoists, tailored to meet the operational requirements of the aviation sector.
• Supply and integration of Tele Radio remote control systems for safe and ergonomic crane handling.

By managing the process from local engineering and production through to on-site assembly and handover, LootahLemmens ensured a fully coordinated and efficient execution.

Technical Innovations

A defining feature of this project was the incorporation of increased hoisting speeds on selected hoists. This technical enhancement provides clear benefits for aviation maintenance:

• Faster lifting cycles shorten aircraft turnaround times.
• Improved efficiency in handling engines, fuselage sections, and other large structural components.
• Greater flexibility to adapt to different phases of complex maintenance tasks.

In addition, the cranes were fitted with Tele Radio remote control systems, which significantly improve both safety and usability:

• Operators can control crane movements from a safe distance, reducing risks when handling large or sensitive aircraft parts.
• Ergonomic handheld transmitters provide intuitive operation and precise control.
• Reliable signal transmission ensures uninterrupted handling, even in demanding hangar environments.
• Built-in safety features, such as emergency stop and automatic signal loss detection, guarantee safe crane operation at all times.

Local Execution in the UAE

All cranes and runway structures were manufactured in the UAE, reflecting LootahLemmens’ commitment to local production, regional expertise, and short delivery times. Installation and commissioning were carried out by our experienced assembly teams, ensuring full compliance with aviation-sector standards and customer requirements.

Customer Benefits

The integration of medium-capacity cranes, improved hoisting performance, and Tele Radio remote controls provides the aircraft hangar with a tailored lifting solution that directly supports the efficiency of maintenance and revamping operations. The result is a system that combines technical reliability, operational safety, and faster turnaround times, delivering measurable value to the customer’s maintenance processes.
