Crane role
November 1st 2006 Handling equipment from ABUS Crane Systems is playing a key role in the engineering facility at Rolls-Royce, Derby, where up to 250 jet engines are handled each year. The direct line of communication between Rolls-Royce personnel and ABUS was maintained throughout the project and allowed the company to make changes to equipment specification and configuration as work progressed. This collaboration came into its own during the development of a complex system of gantry steelwork that had to provide maximum working flexibility for cranes, yet create minimum obstruction to personnel and vehicles. ABUS supplied 57 single and twin-hoist overhead cranes, eight jib cranes and 29 monorail hoists. Overhead units have spans to 19 400mm and SWL to 4000kg.
