Jet engine handling hoist

How Rolls-Royce decisively secured their aero engine handling cranes against overspeeds and load drops and improved their maneuverability with MotoSuiveur Solutions while keeping the hoist layout compact.

The Customer

Rolls-Royce’s aerospace business makes commercial and military gas turbine engines for military, civil, and corporate aircraft customers worldwide.
Derby is Rolls-Royce’s largest site and it is where they design, assemble and test the Trent jet engines.

Hoist componentsfour-drums transporter bridge, 4 pins horizontal system.
Crane lifting capacity (SWL)46 t
Hoist duty rating (ISO / JIS Classification)M5

Hoisting challenges

Delicate load.

Abrupt deceleration needs to be avoided.

Low-height maneuvers.

As part of its jet engine testing and production process, Rolls-Royce needs to maneuver engine assemblies around multiple build stands. Including low-height maneuvers where the reaction delays of the safety equipment are critical.

Limited space and headroom.

Does your hoist present similar challenges?
You are one retrofit away from operating a fail-safe hoist.

Benefits of the MotoSuiveur-Secured hoist

Instant arrest.

Thanks to its fail-safe principle, the MotoSuiveur Unit instantly self-locks and absorbs the kinetic energy to safely arrest the load within 20 mm of load descent, this is up to 100x shorter compared with “Monitoring+Brakes” closed-loop systems.

Moreover, overspeed is prevented in MotoSuiveur-Secured hoists, it cannot occur.

Smooth arrest.

Delicate loads are protected from abrupt decelerations. The kinetic energy to dissipate in order to fully arrest the load is several orders of magnitude lower thanks to the instant action of MotoSuiveur fail-safety.

Compact & low-headroom layout.

Make the best use of a restricted space for hoist layouts with the uniquely compact design opportunities allowed by MotoSuiveur Units.
