Material Handling for Aviation & MRO Facilities

For hangar and FOD‑sensitive environments, we recommend non‑marking polyurethane casters that won't chip or leave residue near aircraft. For heavy loads like engine stands or GSE carts, our heavy duty casters rated 7,001–20,000 lbs are the standard choice. Total lock casters are ideal at fixed workstations where the cart or stand must not move during maintenance.

It depends on your layout and lift frequency. For fixed, repetitive lifts at a single engine stand, a foundationless jib crane offers the lowest cost and simplest installation. For full bay coverage, a workstation overhead bridge crane is the right fit. If you need to reposition the lift point between aircraft or bays, a portable gantry crane gives you the flexibility to roll where needed.

Yes. Our fall protection systems are engineered to meet OSHA 1910.28 and 1926.502 requirements. For wing walks, tail sections, and elevated fuselage access, we carry both fixed fall arrest systems and self retracting lifelines (SRLs) that allow freedom of movement while providing automatic fall arrest. Contact our team to discuss your specific access point and worker protection requirements.

Cantilever rack systems are purpose-built for long, awkward components that don't fit standard pallet positions  tubing, ducting, spars, and similar parts. Arm lengths and spacing are configurable to your specific component dimensions and weight.

An industrial mezzanine can effectively double or triple your usable tooling and parts storage by adding a level above your current hangar operations  without expanding your building footprint. Mezzanines can be designed around existing racking, equipment, and clearance requirements. Custom configurations are available; reach out for a quote based on your building dimensions and load requirements.

Our vacuum lifters let technicians lift and position wing skins, cowlings, and composite panels without contact damage or manual strain. They're well suited to parts that are large, awkward, or too delicate for clamp-style lifting, and can be configured to match your panel sizes and lift zones.

Yes. B&C can help identify pallet racking solutions based on the size, weight, quantity, and storage requirements of aviation parts and components. Options can be configured to support organized, accessible storage for aircraft parts, maintenance components, tooling, and other MRO materials.
