Customized & Manufactured by AVCON for India’s Largest Aircraft Engine Manufacturer
In a landmark collaboration with India’s biggest aircraft engine manufacturing company, AVCON successfully designed, customized, and manufactured a battery-operated floor Crane to meet the stringent requirements of aerospace-grade manufacturing operations. The solution was engineered to handle precision lifting, restricted workspace movement, and zero-emission indoor operations—critical for high-value engine assembly and maintenance environments.
The Challenge
Aircraft engine manufacturing demands absolute precision, safety, and reliability. The customer required a compact lifting solution capable of handling heavy and sensitive engine components within confined shop-floor layouts, while ensuring:
- Zero exhaust emissions for clean manufacturing zones
- Smooth and jerk-free lifting for delicate assemblies
- High maneuverability around CNC machines and assembly bays
- Enhanced operator safety and ergonomic control
Standard off-the-shelf equipment failed to meet these combined requirements, prompting the need for a fully customized solution.
