New Cargo Floor Panel Solution Unveiled by Satair

Satair, a subsidiary of Airbus Services, has unveiled a new cargo floor panel solution called Cargo Robust. Designed in collaboration with Airbus Engineering and materials supplier Schütz GmbH & Co. KGaA, the Cargo Robust panels aim to provide operators with a more durable and efficient option for structural floor repairs in demanding cargo environments.

The Cargo Robust panels are part of Satair's Airbus Semi-Finished Floor Panel (ASFP) product line, ensuring a consistent standard of installation across various aircraft fleets. These panels place strong emphasis on operational resilience and long-term performance, making them an ideal choice for operators who need dependable solutions in demanding environments.

One of the key features of the Cargo Robust solution is the use of high-performance polymer inserts and hard points. This design element lowers the risk of corrosion in humid conditions, a common challenge in cargo areas. The panels are supplied in a semi-finished state, allowing operators and MRO providers to cut and drill them on-site according to their specific requirements.

The Cargo Robust solution supports repairs across various aircraft fleets, including the A320, A330, A340, A350, and A380. This expansion of maintenance support extends to both passenger and cargo areas of Airbus aircraft, further enhancing the versatility of the solution.

By adding the Cargo Robust option, Satair has strengthened its aftermarket offering. All panels from the updated ASFP range are stocked in Satair's worldwide warehouse network, ensuring rapid availability and shorter lead times for customers. This streamlined process simplifies processes, improves turnaround times, and reduces complexity for operators.

The development of Cargo Robust aligns closely with Airbus' own maintenance standards, ensuring quality and reliability for customers worldwide. The consistent standard of installation, combined with the emphasis on operational resilience and long-term performance, makes the Cargo Robust panels a valuable addition to the Airbus maintenance ecosystem.

In conclusion, Satair's new Cargo Robust solution offers operators and maintenance organizations a more durable and efficient option for structural floor repairs. The panels are tailored to meet the tougher demands of cargo environments, ensuring that operators can maintain their aircraft fleets with confidence and ease.
