Starting situation
 The cranes’ maximum availability and reliability is of crucial importance for on-schedule aircraft maintenance. |
| SR Technics Switzerland, based at Zürich airport, offers servicing for passenger and freight aircraft. Aircraft up to a total height of 26 m can taxi into the huge 130 x 130 m hangar. Up to four A330/340 or B 747 aircraft can be serviced simultaneously. Three off-standard cranes from STAHL-FRIBOS have been in use since 1972 for maintenance work on the heavy aircraft components. The huge cranes with 10,000 kg S.W.L. each and spans between 12.8 and 51.2 m have performed reliably in the three decades since their commissioning. An expertise from a crane expert was ordered in November 2002 after one of the cranes failed. It rapidly transpired that modernisation was essential. |
