What is CFM Universal Shaft Cart?
CFM shafts used in aircraft engines can be notoriously challenging to move and store. Without careful handling, CFM shafts may incur damage as they are moved between storage and maintenance areas. The CRM Universal Shaft Cart from XTJ Steel addresses the challenges associated with safe handling and movement of CFM shafts.
This patent-pending product is highly versatile; its works with CFM56-3, CFM56-5, and CFM56-7 shaft models. It also houses all associated parts and components, ensuring that mechanics have easy access to all components during installation and repairs. Keeping these items organized on the cart also helps mechanics to avoid losing any valuable components.

Applications of the CFM Universal Shaft Cart
Aircraft maintenance hangars and repair facilities benefit greatly from the CRM Universal Shaft Cart. Accidental drops, impacts, metal-on-metal contact, or other rough handling can affect the usability or long-term efficacy of the shaft. Even minor damage to a shaft can have catastrophic consequences for the aircraft itself later on should the shaft fail unexpectedly.
Any facility that must store and move aircraft engine shafts should take every precaution to keep engine shafts in pristine condition, and the CRM Universal Shaft Cart does just that. XTJ ’s shaft cart is compatible with other shaft types as well, such as aircraft engine shafts from LF Aviation and Pratt and Whitney, shafts used in natural gas turbines, and more.
