How Kundel’s TTRAC is Transforming Aerospace Fabrication and Building Expansions

Dec 4, 2024 | Cranes

Studies show that inefficiencies in material handling can add 20-30% to project costs in aerospace and large fabrication assembly operations. Being in this field, you know that time is money—and when it comes to moving massive components and scaling operations, inefficiency can cost both. But there’s a way to change that. Enter the TTRAC crane system—your solution for faster, safer, and cost-effective material handling.

At Kundel Industries, we’ve partnered with industry leaders to gain firsthand insight into the toughest challenges you face. What we’ve learned has led to the creation of the TTRAC crane system—a groundbreaking material handling solution built to tackle the most demanding tasks in aerospace and large fabrication assembly operations.

The Top Issues Costing You in Aerospace & Fabrication Material Handling

Before adopting the TTRAC crane system, many companies struggle with the following:

Inefficient Material Handling

Traditional cranes often struggle with slow, inefficient movement of heavy components, creating safety risks and increasing downtime. The TTRAC offers smoother, more controlled lifting and movement, ensuring precision.

Costly Facility Expansions

Expanding or adapting your facility can lead to expensive redesigns and costly downtime. TTRAC scales with your operations, minimizing expensive infrastructure changes during facility upgrades.

High Installation Costs

Many crane systems require extensive foundation work and engineering. The TTRAC crane eliminates these costs with its freestanding design, making installation faster and more affordable.

The TTRAC Difference: Built for Modern Demands

The TTRAC crane system is engineered to solve these pain points with cutting-edge features that ensure efficiency, reliability, and safety. Here’s what sets TTRAC apart:

  • Freestanding, Modular Design: No cross-bracing or building tie-ins required. TTRAC operates on as little as an 8-inch, 4,000-psi concrete floor.
  • Customizable Spans: Offers spans up to 55 feet to accommodate a wide range of workspace layouts.
  • Heavy-Duty Performance: Lifts up to 10 tons (20,000 lbs), making it ideal for the toughest materials in aerospace and large fabrication assembly operations.
  • Dynamic Braking & Inverter-Controlled Travel: Smooth ramp-up and ramp-down provide precise, safe movement, minimizing risks during material handling.
  • Ball Joint Supports: Ensures the system hangs plumb and true, even on uneven surfaces, eliminating stress on components.
  • Quick Installation: TTRAC installs in half the time of traditional systems and can be relocated as needed, reducing downtime and providing unmatched flexibility.

Real-World Success: How TTRAC Delivers Results

Our customers have seen real, measurable results after implementing the TTRAC system:

  • 30% Faster Production: Aerospace manufacturers have cut production times by nearly a third.
  • Lower Expansion Costs: TTRAC eliminates the need for costly foundation work and structural tie-ins, reducing expenses during facility upgrades.
  • Minimal Downtime: Quick installation means your operations continue with minimal disruption, ensuring projects stay on schedule.
