Transport solutions for aviation & aerospace

Operating in the industries of aerospace and aviation carries significant challenges, a major one being the transport of heavy and delicate components like wings, engines, cabins or even loaded rocket boosters. 

Environmental factors need to be taken into account as well. These reasons and more led ATV Europe to establish a wide array of transport solutions – designed to face these challenges. The overall brand name of this set of solutions? Shifter.

The answer to your transport needs

Moving around exceptionally large airplane or rocket parts? Let’s take a closer look at the most common issues encountered when transporting an airplane wing, for example. You’re often short on space and because of the length – not to mention the weight — of such a component, an innovative solution can make all the difference. If possible, a system that functions omnidirectionally, allowing for flexibility in confined spaces. 

This is why we introduced the Shifter. With just one or two vehicles, anyone can move large objects around, accurately and efficiently.

The Shifter range: which model suits your purpose?

Offering a total package yet allowing you to pick your own path. It’s the idea behind the line of Shifter vehicles. We’d like to introduce them to you.

The Shifter Trailer: best in basic

The Shifter’s Trailer is designed to be at its best in even the smallest of warehouses. This makes it accessible and trustworthy for anyone taking on modest projects. Setup is a quick and easy procedure, offering more bang for your buck compared to a regular forklift while staying easy-to-use and cost-efficient.

The Shifter Mono: the next step in mobility

Does your project outmatch the Trailer profile, but not enough to justify our most advanced pieces of transport systems? It’s for times like these we brought the Shifter Mono into the fold. We kept the easy setup and cost-efficiency, but we increased mobility by allowing for curved turns and lifting capabilities.

The Shifter Multi Flex: when the going gets heavy

Building on the success of the Shifter Flex, the next step for anyone transporting exceptionally large and heavy objects would be going Multi Flex. Two — or more — Flex units working together synchronously and precisely. Both units find each other automatically, regardless of their positions. This provides the necessary flexibility.

We’ve got custom in our DNA

We don’t need telling of how production- and maintenance zones in this industry carry explosion hazards (ATEX zones) and require top-notch cleanliness. Components can reach impressive heights as well, making stability when transporting essential. Shifter keeps a close eye on factors like these, even if that means building custom-sized machinery. Finally, we take pride in knowing the value of discretion. Especially given its importance in some industries. We don’t lack industry knowledge at AVT Europe, it’s what enables us to provide the perfect answers to the needs and wants of any industry. That’s Shifter, adapting to any situation.

Adapting to new situations starts at the core. Recognizing the need for unique solutions to deal with unique situations, we’re ready to bring you a custom Shifter solution and a tailor-made approach.
