What Is Jet Engine & Turbine Transport?
Jet engine and turbine transport is the specialized ground movement of high-value, sensitive rotating equipment between airports, MRO facilities, OEM plants, and power generation sites. Because these components are precision-machined and shock-sensitive, they require air-ride suspension trailers, certified engine stands or cradles, and drivers trained in load securement for aerospace and industrial cargo. First Class Trucking handles:
- Commercial & business aviation jet engines (CFM56, GE90, V2500, Trent-series and similar)
- Auxiliary power units (APUs)
- Industrial and power-generation gas turbines
- Turbine components, modules, and rotables
- MRO shuttle runs between hangars, test cells, and repair shops
