Request More Information

In aviation, maintenance backlogs are long, MRO shop turnaround times run behind schedule and every grounded aircraft raises the stakes. The bottleneck isn’t always the work itself, it’s everything between it.

 

The hidden advantage? SMARTER STORAGE.

 

BENEFITS THAT ELEVATE

GAIN FLOOR SPACE

Add more floor space to the MRO shop by storing more maintenance supplies and aircraft components in a single, enclosed vertical storage unit within a compact footprint, without expanding into crucial hangar space.

CONTROL INVENTORY

Streamline stock levels of expensive aircraft parts while tracking the day-to-day inventory of maintenance tools and MRO parts within a single machine.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Boost aircraft maintenance technician productivity by organizing engine blades and aircraft maintenance tools for faster retrieval during MRO operations.

IMPROVE ERGONOMICS

Heavy loads can be easily accessed using folding guide rails to guide items on to a crane to use in the shop.

ENHANCE SECURITY

Secure valuable aircraft components within an enclosed machine using the badge scanner option to document each interaction.

 

SOLUTIONS THAT DELIVER

RESULTS THAT PERFORM

Trusted by Tier 1 Aviation Suppliers and MRO Teams Worldwide

Allaero Limited, an aircraft parts supplier located in the hub of the UK  business aviation industry, needed a solution for fast order fulfillment for grounded planes after reaching their warehouse capacity with standard pallet racking .

See how they reduced order fulfillment to as little as 15 minutes from receipt to shipping while increasing their warehouse capacity, without expanding their footprint.
