High flying crane system
September 1st 2009

Demag Cranes & Components has won a 4.4 million Euro contract to supply crane systems for a new Airbus facility in Broughton, North Wales. The new 52,300m2 factory will house a composite wing assembly line for the company's A350 XWB wide bodied aircraft, which is scheduled to enter service in 2013.

To meet the requirements of the wing manufacturing process, Demag will install twelve multi-span suspension cranes, four of which are rated at 10t SWL and eight rated at 12.5t SWL. The cranes have spans ranging between 16.5 and 17.5m.

Demag will also install two 10t SWL double girder overhead travelling cranes with 27.67m spans.

The radio controlled crane systems will operate in pairs for the tandem lifting of composite wing systems between various workstations, during the manufacturing process.
