Ammo craneFrom aircraft carrier cranes to bespoke handling equipment to undertake a complex part of the manufacturing process, the attention to detail that goes into every one of our projects means that you can trust SCX Special Projects to create not only a fully reliable, robust solution, but one that is tailored to your every need.

Crane systems for aircraft carriers and other marine vessels require specific safety features such as anti-tip brackets and mechanical storm anchors, as well as rack and pinion drive systems to overcome displacement from sea motion or LPD tilt. SCX Special Projects will also incorporate back-up recovery systems, precise positioning, advanced fail-safe hoist braking systems, marine environment protection, Aircraft carrier crane limitsautomation of complex manoeuvers or even entire systems, or any number of additional features, tailored specifically to the requirements of your application.

The manufacture of military vehicles, aircraft, submarines and munitions often calls for bespoke handling equipment due to the irregular and delicate nature of the loads. SCX Special Projects can create bespoke solutions to precisely handle even the most unusual or delicate articles, even in extreme environmental conditions, all tailored to your exact requirements.
