Fully lifting the Queen of the skies

KUNZ Recovery Equipment has been used on the Boeing 747 for nose lifting, single wing lifting and now for full lifting of the aircraft.

This highly complex operation brought together a broad range of KUNZ recovery equipment — including Recovery Lifting Bags, Recovery Trailers and Advanced Lifting Slings — all working together seamlessly to demonstrate what is possible when precision engineering meets real-world challenges.

A heartfelt and resounding thank you to Cargolux Airlines for making this remarkable project possible.

Your unwavering trust, exceptional hospitality and outstanding collaboration were instrumental in turning this ambitious vision into reality. Every interaction with your team reflected professionalism, dedication and genuine passion for aviation excellence — qualities that made all the difference in the success of this operation.
