Project

 

The C33 Building located in Colomiers (Haute Garonne) is warehouse dedicated to paint A320, A330 and A350 type airplanes. AIRBUS needs 8 basket-cranes for this use.

 

These are special overhead traveling cranes, suspended from the roof and each equipped with a telescopic basket, made up of:

  • A work platform designed to accommodate 5 workers and their equipment,
  • A telescopic column, rigidly linked to the platform. The whole equipment enables a rotational movement around the vertical axis,
  • A trolley, moving along the beams of the overhead crane.

 

The combination of these different elements makes it possible to carry out with each platform all the movements (translation, direction, rotation, lifting) necessary for sanding and painting operations on all exterior surfaces of the airplanes.
