Cranes help with lift-off
December 1st 2006 An installation of handling equipment by ABUS Crane Systems is playing a major role in the operation of a £32m showpiece engineering facility at Rolls-Royce, Derby. Able to handle around 250 large jet engines a year, the 220m by 105m AR&O (Aero Repair & Overhaul) facility brings under one roof the repair and overhaul capabilities previously shared between two buildings. A key aspect to the choice was the direct line of communication between Rolls-Royce personnel and ABUS that was maintained throughout the project. This not only allowed Rolls-Royce to make changes to equipment specification and configuration as work progressed, but also enabled ABUS to react quickly to meet changes.
