A new aircraft hangar at Royal Navy Air Station Culdrose in Cornwall, in the UK, features a 2.5t capacity double girder crane spanning 34.6m, built and installed by Street Crane.
A second 2.5t crane, this one spanning 31m, was also installed in an existing hangar at the station, which is a helicopter base for the British Royal Navy.
Because of the wide span and consequent depth of the crane beams, the hoists are located within the height of the beam to maximise lifting height and the clearance beneath.
Both cranes use Street ZX hoists and have dual speed on long and cross travel. They are operated by pendant controls.
