Transportation/Shipping bases for aircraft engines
Our transportaion bases are exceptionally strong with excellent shock and vibration protection. Also affording very good manoeuvrability and when normally fitted our transportaion bases are usually fitted with our newly designed 3 ton capacity 10" diameter twin wheel polyurethane tyred sprung castors that both roll and castor easily.. Three men can easily manoeuvre, with great accuracy, the complete base, cradle and engine assembly, even in very restricted areas.
 
 

Each castor is fitted with socket to accept a turning handle - two of which are supplied with each transportation base. The castors are also fitted with 4 way directional locks and foot operated brakes.

The castors also have excellent towing characteristics with their springs affording additional shock and vibration protection for engine, bearings and seals etc.
 
Alternatively, if preferred, the bases can be fitted (at extra cost) with our own designed and manufactured semi-Ackerman 18" diameter wheel and axle system with or without a manually operated hydraulic raising and lowering facility. Also there is an optional transportation guard set for the bases to give protection to the front and rear of the engine during storage or shipping.
