This will keep all components in a recognizable and immediately accessible removal and/or installation format. Special foam is incorporated in several areas of this container to help secure individual components as well as safe-guard and cushion these items.

The Fan Rotor Spinner is securely attached to a specially designed vertically supported Ring Mounting Plate. This mounting plate is removable (secured by two quick release ball-lock pins) from its storage support weldment location to help in the  installation/removal of the two spinner components. Both forward and aft sections of this component are to bolt securely onto the Ring Mounting Plate.

The stand is compliant with Rolls-Royce specification FDS837. The stand (with engine) is suitable for air transport on the main deck of B747 Freighter aircraft and truck transport using optional external shock mounts.

The engine stand includes a self-contained manual jackscrew for eccentrically rolling the engine to achieve the minimum height and width to pass through the large side cargo door. The base is attached to a special configured pallet (125”x196”) for air transport of the entire stand, with or without engine. Base features include fork lift access.

The stand also includes the bootstrap kit (AGSE-E16682-S01) to facilitate on wing maintenance (Note: the kit may be deselected if not required).

The G03 Configuration: Customers may consider to order the AGSE-E166-G03 that comes with a hydraulic jacking legs to enable installation/removal of casters or shock mounts. (Note the optional accessories below.)

The AGSE “Loadmaster” is a unique concept in casters specifically designed to provide shock protection, load equalization, and support for heavy loads- unavailable from conventional casters.

The 5" wide polyurethane wheels on these casters are mounted on an offset shock absorption system consisting of four heavy duty die springs. The “Knee Action” design keeps the casters ON THE FLOOR over uneven surfaces and ensures load sharing by all casters, reducing individual caster overload and premature failure. In addition, the “Loadmaster” caster provides excellent secondary protection for fragile loads by reducing shock inputs induced during towing operations. These casters are used primarily for jet engine transport equipment.

All “Loadmaster” casters are standard equipped with foot operated brakes and four-position swivel locks. Wheel diameters come in -

10 inch, 2500 and 5000 LBS capacity.
12 inch, 2500 and 5000 LBS capacity
14 inch, 5000 LBS capacity
16 inch, 6500 LBS capacity

All "Loadmaster" casters may be ordered with optional brake release handle bumpers by adding the suffix "-B" to the basic model part number. The bumpers provide hand protection when releasing the face brakes.

The AGSE-G029 in-line gantry system gantry system is designed for the overhaul of aircraft engines. It consists of one assembly line and one disassembly line connected by an interlocking transfer crane and tooling hanger return system. Four storage bay location are included on as part of the tooling return system which may store parts of complete engines.
Each assembly or disassembly line has one AM-1653D single bay type gantry located at the entrance and exit. The gantries are designed with a suspended three rail lift frame with powered vertical travel for engine removal. Rail ends have powered interlocks to allow transfer of workstation hoists and suspended tooling from the fixed work station and tooling return system. Once the engine is transferred onto the system at the gantry station it is moved onto the fixed rail work station line with over all length for four engine over haul stations.
The disassembled engine components or complete engine suspended on tooling beams may be transferred onto the transfer crane system. This system is approximately 156 feet in length with two horizontal traveling cranes. Each crane may interlock with the assembly and disassembly lines, storage bays, and the fixed rail tooling return rails. Complete engines or component parts may be transferred to the fixed assembly line rail system. This system is designed with a fixed line assembly work stations with a vertical traveling gantry at the end engine loading onto transportation equipment.
