Airbus A380 Wing Transportation - View each stage of the process in our slideshow here

  • The project involved the transportation of the new Airbus A380 Wing sections from the Airbus factory.
  • The transportation was from Broughton Chester by the River Dee, (an environmentally sensitive area) to Mostyn prior to heavy transportation to Toulouse - France for assembly to the aircrafts fuselage.
  • The PLC Synclift Control System was used
  • The Enerpac PLC synchronous lift system is used to lift the wing assembly and pallet from a special purpose vehicle driven on to the ship for transport.
  • Once the vehicle has been driven off on to the deck our system lowers to deck position and is mechanically fixed for transportation.
  • The problem of an uneven load was a critical factor.
  • High levels of synchronicity were needed to balance the load successfully.
  • Synchronised Lifting Points were established.
  • Coordinated loading of wing was managed.
  • The lowering of the wing was controlled by the lift system.
