Material Handling Precision for the Aerospace Industry
Elevate Your Aerospace Material Handling with Salco Engineering
At Salco Engineering & Manufacturing, we understand that the aerospace industry operates in an environment where precision, quality, and safety are paramount. Every part, from the smallest fastener to the largest structural component, must meet strict tolerances and cleanliness standards. That’s why we design and build custom material handling solutions that support the unique challenges of aerospace manufacturing, assembly, and transport. Our goal is to help aerospace manufacturers improve workflow efficiency while maintaining compliance with rigorous industry regulations.
Stainless Steel Carts and Baskets for Aerospace Precision
Our stainless steel carts and custom wire baskets are specifically engineered for aerospace applications where strength, corrosion resistance, and cleanliness are critical. These durable solutions ensure that sensitive components are transported securely throughout the production process. Key benefits include:
- Heavy-duty welded construction for long-lasting performance
- Optional features such as ergonomic handles, locking casters, and protective coatings
- Open-wire or solid surfaces for easy cleaning and contamination control
Our carts can also be customized with tow bars and modular shelving to integrate with automated handling systems or tugger trains commonly used in aerospace facilities.
Minimize Part Contamination, Maximize Quality Assurance
In aerospace manufacturing, even the smallest contamination can have serious consequences for performance and safety. That’s why Salco Engineering designs products that reduce contamination risks. Our aerospace material handling solutions feature:
- Polished stainless steel for smooth, non-porous surfaces
- Secure closures to prevent foreign object debris (FOD)
- Design options that facilitate proper drainage and cleaning
These features support compliance with aerospace cleanliness requirements and minimize the risk of costly rework or part failure.
Customized Solutions for Aerospace Applications
Every aerospace facility has its own operational requirements, and standard equipment often falls short. Salco offers fully customizable solutions, including:
- Carts for transporting large structural components or fragile parts
- Wire baskets designed for in-process washing and drying
- Storage racks for high-value aerospace tools and fixtures
- Dunnage inserts for organizing parts within totes
Using advanced design and prototyping services, we ensure that each product is engineered for optimal fit, function, and safety.
Compliance with Aerospace Industry Standards
Our aerospace material handling products are designed to meet or exceed stringent industry standards. From EHS compliance to technical cleanliness requirements, Salco provides solutions that help you maintain regulatory compliance without sacrificing efficiency. This includes features that support AS9100 quality systems and FOD prevention programs.
Applications for Aerospace Material Handling
Salco solutions are used across a wide range of aerospace processes, including:
- Transporting turbine blades, engine components, and precision-machined parts
- Staging assemblies for airframe and fuselage production
- Handling delicate avionics and electrical systems
- Supporting robotic loading/unloading in automated production cells
Our equipment is also suitable for cleanroom environments and facilities that demand zero-tolerance for contamination.
