 TELEPLATFORMS

Teleplatforms are elevated working platforms
specifically designed by CTI development to
enable safe and quick access to raised working
areas.
Suspended from a specific crane trolley, a
telescoping mast below that is equipped with a
working platform on the lower end is able to reach
the hangar floor. This will ensure worker personnel
entry and lift the specialized workers to any
required working area.
The teleplatforms can operate in any hangar
location of the spanned crane system and even
allow a rotation of the work platform to perfectly
align the working edge with the aircraft.
Interlocking devices are used to enable the
interchanging of hoist and teleplatform trolleys
between cranes and both to and from parking
spurs.
Initially invented by CTI and first applied in the
Boeing B747 production process, CTI has the
largest number of teleplatforms in service in the
world for airlines or aircraft service companies.
From the earliest design to the latest high-tech
performance, generations of service personnel
have experienced the reliability, longevity and
user friendly nature of CTI’s teleplatform solutions.
Specifically developed for aircraft service,
they are used in aircraft hangars to enhance the
performance of:
• Aircraft manufacturing and assembly
• Aircraft light (line) maintenance
• Aircraft cleaning, paint stripping, masking
and re-paint processes
• Aircraft overhaul

 CTI teleplatforms come equipped with an
integrated collision protection system. This en-
sures that the aircraft will not be subjected in any
way to damage by the teleplatform itself.
The lifting system is a fail-safe design.
Motion will be controlled by the newly devel-
oped RMC (relative motion control) system,
which takes into account the current working
platform position. By moving the joystick on the
control panel, the platform will move into the
same way that the controller views the direction,
so long as this is fixed within the respective
console. Furthermore, it will always re-calculate
any current rotated position of the working
platform in relation to the crane runway or crane
bridge direction.
Thanks to this user friendly and easy to
operate new system, the possibility of errors
caused by failure to comply with operating rules is
greatly reduced.
Working platforms can be equipped with any
necessary installations and media including:
• Hot and cold water supply
• Compressed and respiratory air
• Electrical sockets and lighting
• Auxiliary lifting units up to 500 kgs
• Safety ropes for fall protection
• Evacuation devices
Especially in relation to paint tasks, any
installation will be explosion-proof.
For specific tasks, modular tools and equipment
can be quickly interchanged to enable:
• Aircraft cleaning
• Paint stripping
• Aircraft surface masking/de-masking
• Aircraft painting

Germany
The new paint facilities of Airbus in Hamburg are
now fully equipped with the very latest generation of
CTI teleplatforms. The total system in the two
hangars comprises:
• 4 teleplatforms with a lift height of 23.5 m to acess
the vertical stabilizer
• 12 teleplatforms with a lift height of 11.5 m to acess
the upper surface of the fuselage and wings
• 20 double girder underslung bridge cranes
Crossover devices with interlocks allow the
teleplatforms to pass from the wing to the fuselage
area.
The maximal load of each teleplatform is four to
five workers plus 300 kgs additional load for cleaning,
masking or paint equipment. The utilities and tools for
each work process are stored on specifically de-
signed modular pallets, which enable them to be
quickly interchanged.
The safety of the operator is guaranteed by a
selection of systems, which include among other
fall protection systems, evacuation systems and
respiratory air treatment on working platform level.
PR China
In 2004, CTI supplied teleplatforms to GAMECO
Aircraft Maintenance Facilities in Ghuangzhou. This
system is suitable for the effective maintenance and
repair of any aircraft including the largest commercial
Airbus A380.
The systems‘ scope successfully operates in
the 4-bay maintenance hangar in conjunction with
the CTI hoist trolleys application. This forms a total
delivery scope of:
• Two teleplatforms of 19.8 m lift height for upper
aircraft maintenance access
• Four double girder underslung bridge cranes
• One single girder underslung bridge crane
• Three hoist trolleys (two of 15 tons in a double
girder, one of 5 tons in a single girder crane
bridge)
• Two fixed transfer crossover devices to enable
either the teleplatforms or hoist trolleys to be
passed from the forward to the rear hangar bay
The total hangar surface can be accessed by
both teleplatform and crane equipment, which
means that the aircraft can be freely parked within
the hangar.

 COMPREHENSIVE CRANE SYSTEMS
The optimal material flow in production units is
a decisive factor in efficient production processes.
In many cases, cranes are the best transportation
means for different material handling require-
ments.
With the CTI crane systems, even the most
complex material handling tasks can be solved in
a cost efficient way.
CTI provides various types of crane including:
Overhead Cranes
Travelling Cranes
Automatic Cranes
All cranes provide custom-made solutions that
will help in any specific task and are specifically
designed for:
• Heavy loads
• Most sensitive and/or
• Bulky goods
Equipped with interlocking devices, the
operation of hoist trolleys is not simply limited to
either single or double girder crane bridges. In
addition, they can be used on the CTI designed
monorail tracks, which are in turn controlled by
state of the art technology. Furthermore, required
handling tasks can be executed in either manual,
step-controlled or fully automated mode.
Bridge travelling speeds reach up to 180
m/min, trolley travelling speeds reach up to 80
m/min, lifting speeds reach up to 65 m/min.
At CTI, grab and load suspension systems will
be tailored to precisely meet the individual
application and the material that needs to be
transported.

APPLICATIONS OF CTI CRANE SYSTEMS:
SIA Engineering Company
Singapore
In 2004, CTI delivered two crane systems
equipped with hoist trolleys (15 tons) for two new
maintenance hangars at Changi International
Airport, Singapore.
The crane systems are designed to be
equipped with four teleplatforms enabling the
maintenance and paint application for aircraft up to
Boeing B747.
The systems consist of:
• Seven double girder bridge cranes
• One single girder bridge crane
• Four hoist carriers (15 tons)
• One hoist carrier (2 tons)
Thanks to the interlocking system applied, this
solution delivers a near endless hock coverage
over the entire hangar area.
The hoist carriers (15 tons) are designed as
very compact units that will ensure maximum work
space with compact hoists including friction drives
for all equipment.
To control the system, each hoist is equipped
with an explosion-proof pendant. This is supported
by a motorized cable drum to ensure the plane can
be freely crossed while moving the system with the
backup radio controllers. The signal transmission
from carrier to crane is assured via seven fully
housed pole power bars. CTI's scope of delivery
also included the high precision crane runway.
And the system is completed with limit switches
and overload protection.
Overhead Cranes
The systems allow very long distances to be
spanned via an arrangement of multiple runway
beams that work in parallel. The hoist trolleys will
run underslung in the flange of the runway beams.
From there, working in conjunction with the CTI
interlocks, the trolleys can pass to the crane bridge
in the adjacent track or cross over to a monorail
system.
The systems can be designed either as single
or double girder bridges. The latter can also carry
CTI teleplatform trolleys (elevated working
platforms) to provide worker access to elevated
working areas.
Travelling Cranes
The travelling cranes running on top of fixed
runway beams deliver advantages for heavy duty
operations. The bridges running on tracks of spans
of up to approximately 30 m are able to carry loads
of 65 tons and more, without the need to be
suspended from the roof structures.
Automatic Cranes
Automatic cranes - also known as “Process
Cranes” can be designed from any of the earlier
design performances. However, these are desig-
nated to be fully implemented in the production
processes as an integral module.
Usually equipped with a custom-made grab
system, interlocking and further indexing units,
they are mostly applied to the handling of
materials in various manufacturing processes.
Operated by PLC they will be controlled in
accordance with the requirements of the individual
production phases.
Besides applications for the steel and foundry
industry, paper handling and some other indus-
tries, CTI has already supplied handling solutions
for the wing production of the Airbus A380 aircraft
in the aviation branch.
Cranes of this type can easily be integrated
into existing and not originally predesigned
production buildings. This is on the basis that
respective building columns are available.

Aircraft painting
Final assembly and conversion
of aircraft components, docks are equipped with
sliding platforms or flaps.
Planning and/or installation of electric power
illumination, compressed air and many further
supplies mean that docking systems meet the
high standard of CTI’s engineering.

From ground supported or roof suspended,

any individual solution can be delivered to meet
clients specific needs. CTI’s designs are always
produced with the minimizing of docking proce-
dures in mind and this ensures the shortest
possible aircraft downtimes.

At CTI docking systems working platforms

will be arranged along the aircraft to enable the
simultaneous access of any respective working
area. This will always take into consideration the
relevant aircraft dimensions and safest working
conditions for the service personnel.

CTI DOCKING SYSTEMS
In earlier days it was CTI who installed the first
docking system for Boeing B747 for PanAM Airways.
Consequently, further access possibilities were
provided by CTI teleplatforms for the exterior of
the ‘Jumbo Jet’.
Moreover CTI Docking Systems were sub-
sequently successfully installed:
• Docking System in suspended girder design
and modules for underwing and engines for
United Airlines
• Unitized Docking System for Eastern Airlines
The latest installations were made at:
France
CTI Docking System for MRO:
Equipped with numerous features the A320
dock modules successfully commissioned at Air
France Paris in March 2007 allow aircraft access
for heavy maintenance. The entire tail and wing
sections are covered in most comfortable and
ergonomic way for the entire A320 aircraft series
(from the A318 to the A321).
The passway and work platforms at tail dock
allow not only heavy duty application and high
platform loads, but are also designed to access
the forward leading edge of the VTP and adjacent
fuselage crown area in best possible manner.
Installation for electricity and illumination, pres-
sure air supply and garbage collection utilities
added by a goods lift in the rear and further
equipped with an integrated hoist for rudder
handling, makes the taildock a most comfortable
service module.
Wing and landing gear docks are of coordi-
nated design and fit best to these critical service
locations. The modules are equipped with any
necessary service installations such as sliding
platforms for engine adaptation, flaps for
integrated fuel tank ventilation hose access and
media supplies. Aircraft jack positioning with the
aircraft in docked position will be possible; also
upper wing access.
Singapore
CTI Docking Systems for MRO and Painting:
Within the SASCO’s new hangar at Changi
Airport in Singapore (opened in March 2006), CTI
successfully installed and commissioned a roof
suspended tail and fuselage docking system.
This was delivered together with a three-level
nosedock, fully integrated within the building’s
mezzanine.
The customers’ expectations required not
only feasibility for Boeing B747 of any series
(B747-100, -200, -300, -400) and B777 of any
series (B777-200, -300) for maintenance and
overhaul tasks, but also for aircraft painting within
the same docking installation.
While applying flexible platform sections and
bridges for adapting the aircraft, in particular the
considerable requirements for painting tasks
(explosion-proof electrical equipments, hindrance
free access to any aircraft surface) could be
overcome.
In addition, the well-proven CTI lift and
transfer driving system is applied. By using
sophisticated lightweight yet extremely stiff dock
designs, both quick and save docking operating
times can be achieved.

CTI applies customized monorail carriers for

overhead transport of the engine package from
the preparation hall into test cells. Twin hoist
carriers equipped with special lift-beams attach
and release engine adapters. The CTI-patented
high capacity track with raised treads assure
trouble-free articulation of the carrier on curves
and effortless travel on straight tracks.

In the preparation hall designated crane bridges

allow transferring the carriers between individual
spurs. Turntables can be provided for inquired
carrier orientation to ease takeover from/to a floor
cart. Interlocks and articulated track ends provide
safe and smooth transfer of the carrier from the
spurs on the bridge and vice-versa.

At the entry of test cell the monorail track is

mounted under a heavy duty slewing ring which
can be turned from 90° open to enable closing of
the heavy test cell door during engine testing.

The CTI work platform inside the test cell grants

access an engine hanging in the thruststand.
In the retracted position the platform flushes with
the floor and heavy floor running equipment (up
to 16 tons) can travel on to the retracted platform.

MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT

CTI handling - Transportation of sensitive

fuselage shells
Even aircraft production facilities rely on CTI's
considerable experience in this specific aviation
field.

It is the combined proven technology and wide

experience in material handling in industrial auto-
mation applications that has led CTI into the field
of aircraft manufacturing.

Consequently, CTI was chosen for the transpor-

tation and handling of the sensitive fuselage shells
for Airbus aircraft applied at the single production
steps for:

• Chemical masking
• Chemical milling
• Painting process
• Assembly lines

Once again, through applying the reliable CTI

monorail system, the client is given a wide variety
of transportation solutions.

CTI handling - Transportation of Airbus

A380 VTP (vertical stabilizer)
When it comes to the manipulation of
composite parts, extremely sensitive handling of
the transportation goods is required.

That is why Airbus in Nordenham/Germany

relies on CTI‘s customized development, compri-
sing an integrated hoist and crane system for the
handling of the transportation box for vertical
stabilizer of the Airbus A380.

While providing a PLC-controlled lifting and

travelling, the coordinated safest handling
procedure can be achieved.

N.B.: The vertical stabilizer inside the

transportation box will be shipped for final
assembly to the Airbus facilities located in
Toulouse, France.

 AIR CARGO HANDLING SYSTEMS

CTI SETS THE STANDARDS IN

AIR CARGO HANDLING
Complex material handling tasks require highly
effective and optimal coordinated system modules.
This general requirement becomes a critical
factor particularly at air cargo handling tasks.

SPACE INDUSTRY
CTI-Handling solution
for Boeing's Delta IV Rocket Plant
The Boeing Company had to create a unique,
state-of-the-industry material handling system that
will operate above most integrated areas.
As early as the planning phase, CTI was sub-
mitting pre-design studies and load calculations,
which had to consider the specific requirements
of the new rocket manufacturing facility in
Decatur, Alabama. The factory will thus be able to
expand and change at later stages.
The crane multi-rail runway system provides
the essential floor coverage in each production
work center and are underhung from the bottom
chord members of the building trusses. They form
an integral - if not even the center part of the
DELTA IV production plant - and are totally imple-
mented in the production process.
The make up of material handling systems
enables production personnel to generate continuous
automated and semi-automated production flows.
Necessary rocket parts that make up each
complete rocket must flow on preset schedules in
order to meet the production goal of 40 rockets
per year.
The CTI cranes assisted in sequencing
sufficient quantities of the parts, through the
various production, inspection, testing and assem-
bly processes to meet this design objective.
Several cranes have two hoist trolleys and
hoists, which can be utilized to provide a synchro-
nous dual-hoist lifting capability. These multi-hoist
cranes incorperate load summation devices to
prevent overloading of the bridges as well as the
building structure.
Each major work center in the faciltity has its
own appropriately sized cranes and runway
systems, of which CTI supplied two 2 major ones
for CPTL system (Chemical Processing Tank
Line) and SRD system (Skin Ring Dome Line).
