This newly engineered 10-ton Mechanical Rollover Upender has been custom-built by our team to synchronize twin cradle platforms for aerospace defense testing. Our client, a national defense research laboratory under CASIC, required an exceptionally precise, synchronized method to rotate heavy structural aerospace components.

These components such as cylindrical rocket booster stages, defensive missile casings, and large radar arrays must be tilted 90 degrees from a horizontal transportation position to a vertical experimental testing alignment. Because of the extreme length and fragile nature of these structures, any angular misalignment during rotation would cause severe bending stress, potentially damaging the high-value test prototypes.

To solve this, we bypassed conventional hydraulic upenders and engineered a highly reliable mechanical twin cradle rolling solution driven by a single motor with a physical coupling shaft. This custom system delivers 100% mechanical synchronization and can be explored in our main catalog of upenders and tilters .
