IVP CEO Mohd Fuad Sharuji said: “We are pleased to collaborate with Konecranes to install a state-of-the-art tele-platform system at our IVP Complex in Subang Airport.
“With Konecranes’ proven expertise and advanced technology, we’re integrating a robust solution that enhances accessibility and safety while supporting efficient MRO operations.”
The system comprises two tele-platform units, five suspension crane bridges, two service trolleys, crane runways, and power supply lines, all tailored to meet the rigorous demands of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations.
The tele-platforms, with a 500kg lifting capacity, and the service trolleys, capable of handling up to 10t, are designed to move along crane bridges, which are equipped with latching mechanisms for seamless bay-to-bay transitions.
