Overview
Engines are multi-million-dollar assets, and moving them safely is just as critical as maintaining them. RH Aero’s Engine Transportation Stands cover today’s flagship turbofans—from the Rolls-Royce Trent families to GE’s new GE9X and Pratt & Whitney GTF—combining OEM-licensed cradles, tuned shock-attenuation and true road-, sea- and air-freight approval. Whether you need a split-ship system that slips through a 747F door or a ready-to-roll stand for regional jets, every model is fully compatible with COBRA or bootstrap change gear and backed by our worldwide leasing and refurbishment network.
