Key Tasks

  • Crane-assisted lifting of disabled aircraft with composite structure components (e.g. A320, A350, B737 MAX, B787, B747, EMB E-Jets)
  • Self-adjusting sling assembly adapts to load distribution changes throughout the lifting process
  • Telescopic spreader beam covers a wide range of aircraft types from a single unit
  • Sling length adjustable to lift the aircraft at an angle with even force applied

Overview

The KUNZ ALS CAT III Advanced Lifting Sling System has been specifically engineered to lift disabled narrow-body and wide-body aircraft featuring composite structural components, such as the Airbus A320neo, A350, Boeing 737 MAX, 747 and Embraer 195.

The ALS CAT III uses a self-adjusting sling design that distributes loads evenly across the fuselage during lifting, adapting to changing load distribution caused by different lifting inclines. This protects the aircraft structure from additional stress or damage throughout the entire recovery lift.

The telescopic spreader beam accommodates all relevant aircraft types in the narrow to wide-body category, making this system an essential asset for any comprehensive aircraft recovery kit.

Main Benefits

  • Purpose-built for composite narrow-body and wide-body aircraft – A320neo, A350, Boeing 737 MAX, 747 and Embraer 195 and similar
  • Self-adjusting slings automatically equalise load distribution across all attachment points
  • Sling length adjustable for lifting at an angle with even force applied
  • Telescopic spreader beam covers a wide range of aircraft types from one unit
  • Adjustable to different frame lengths – broad fleet coverage
  • Reduces risk of secondary structural damage during the recovery lift
  • Low storage footprint – optional storage rack for fast deployment
  • Compliant with Airbus and Boeing Aircraft Recovery Manual requirements

Advanced Sling Technology for the Next-Generation of Aircraft

The increasing use of composite materials in modern aircraft requires lifting equipment that goes beyond conventional sling systems. The KUNZ ALS CAT III provides the adaptive load management needed to recover these aircraft safely, minimising the risk of secondary damage and maximising the chances of returning the aircraft to service.

The self-adjusting mechanism continuously equalises the load across all fuselage attachment points as the aircraft is lifted, regardless of the crane angle or the condition of the landing gear – a critical capability when lifting aircraft in complex or asymmetric scenarios.

Coverage Across Your Entire Fleet

The telescopic spreader beam of the ALS CAT III adapts to all aircraft in the narrow to wide-body category, providing complete fleet coverage from a single sling assembly. Adjusting to different frame lengths ensures compatibility across all supported aircraft types without requiring separate equipment.

Backed by decades of recovery expertise and engineered to meet the strict requirements of Airbus and Boeing Aircraft Recovery Manuals, the ALS CAT III is an indispensable part of any airport's or airline's recovery equipment inventory.

Optional Storage Rack:

The KUNZ ALS CAT III is available with an optional dedicated storage rack that provides a compact storage footprint while enabling rapid, organised deployment.
