The Chongging Jiangbei International Airport is China’s 8th busiest airport, hosting around 36 million passengers per year. The airport is projected to have an annual growth of around 10% per annum as the demand for passengers and cargo continues to grow.
Falcon’s 520C Spider Lift was selected for interior and exterior maintenance tasks at the airport as the double jib allows access to hard-to-reach areas, it is also able to climb stairs and reach all levels of the building. The main characteristic that drove the selection of this Falcon Spider Lift, was the low ground pressure and ability to drive on the fragile marble and tile floors.

The Falcion Spider FS 520C is equipped with the new FALCON “Service Tool” which allows remote monitoring of the lift. The system offers easy remote troubleshooting and diagnosis, and access to full operating tracking records.
