Inside an MRO Warehouse: Moving 4,000-Pound Landing Gear
Episode 4916
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Ever wonder what it takes to physically store and move aircraft parts? This episode goes deep into the actual warehouse infrastructure behind MRO operations — from vertical lift modules for small fasteners to custom cradles for multi-ton landing gear. We explore how Delta TechOps and Lufthansa Technik handle the heavy stuff, the hidden complexity of handling fixtures (they have their own SKUs), and why some engine transports require pre-driven route surveys and climate-controlled tunnels. Plus: how "dark stores" and automated retrieval systems are turning safety engineering into logistics.
