752 SOAMXS Mini Crane at

Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildehall

2nd August 2023

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Mission: The primary mission of the 752nd Special Operations Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (752 SOAMXS) Maintenance Unit is to provide safe and reliable aircraft by performing general aircraft servicing and air worthiness maintenance on the CV22 Osprey based at Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildenhall, United Kingdom. Several of the maintenance actions required to maintain this aircraft require the use of an overhead lifting device. The current methods used to lift components are either limited in scope or require a substantial set-up time both degrading our ability to produce safe reliable aircraft in a timely manner.

Acquiring this style of crane will ensure we have this overhead lifting capability at any location, no matter the terrain which will reduce the turnround time of downed aircraft and enhance our ability to meet our flying hour commitment.

1.2 Background: The 752 SOAMXS currently does not have any powered, mobile crane capability other than the hoist inside of our hangar and the non-powered portable maintenance crane. Both capabilities are limited which often leads to more time and manpower required to execute the required maintenance. The hangar’s overhead hoist only covers 50% of the hangar allowing for only two aircraft hoist maintenance locations.

This limited availability causes multiple tows consisting of 6 maintainers each tow team to reposition the aircraft as required. This typically causes several hours per aircraft tow in delays. The manual powered portable maintenance cranes require a minimum 45-minute setup time due to the number of attachments required to be constructed and installed on the crane. Additionally, the manual powered maintenance crane must be position exactly under the nacelle to pull components. If the crane is off by inches, it must be reposition causing another 30 minutes in delays. The amount of down time it takes to position an aircraft for hoisting capabilities, set-up and safely operate a portable maintenance crane, or request cranes from other agencies significantly impacts the CV-22 Flying Hour Program.

1.3 Scope: The required motorized, mobile crane will eliminate the need to request for any outside agency’s crane to perform any normal CV-22 maintenance action. This new capability will allow more effective replacement of components on any terrain at any location saving countless man hours (towing or repositioning aircraft) and any substantial downtime while waiting for a contractor or agency’s assistance.

The overall impact of this Mini Crane is the increase in efficiency and effectiveness of our maintenance effort.
