Wheel and brake MRO services provider Rotable Repairs, has completed the move into the new 49,000 ft² wheel and brake facility in Essex, United Kingdom.
With the CAA’s oversight, the phased transition went without a hitch or without impacting production. The company is now set to take triple its capacity, strategically planned the wheel and brake facility now houses a flowed and intuitive production line, new spring testers, wheel greasers, nitrogen system, inflation cages, automatic wheel inflation and new spray shop/oven eight times the size of their original. This equipment complements the company’s existing build up rigs and torque loader which all adds to the workshop’s ability to process volume.
Already with a healthy worldwide customer base, the support of the wheel and brake manufacturers and substantial investment in material by Desser for pooling and consignments the maintenance at Rotable Repairs is set and ready to go.
With Watts Aviation having an additional 40,000 ft² of tyre storage and with both companies supporting all platforms from general aviation, corporate and commercial Rotable Repairs can claim to be a true aviation wheel and brake specialist based on diversity and scope. Training and Technology have also seen investment as the management team feel it’s important that an influx of new staff should see benefit from training and from its experience gained over time.
