Duncan Aviation expands its Nebraska aircraft battery shop:
12 March, 2019: Duncan Aviation expands its aircraft battery shop space to almost 1,400-square-feet at its Lincoln, Nebraska, location. The expansion has been beneficial for the company as they have added a new battery cooler, received a lot of bench space and new advanced test sets which includes 2400w programmable DC electronic load banks, lead-acid analyzers, and main NiCad charger analyzers.
The added space has led to increase in productivity with streamlined production processes and improved safety by reducing the risk of injury to team members or damage to batteries and equipment.
This equipment consists of every test set, battery charger, and capacity gauge available to carry out capacity checks, testing, and maintenance for every aircraft battery in service on business aircraft in use today.
Each week the shop sees about 85 to 100 batteries and on an average 75 per cent of batteries are checked, charged, and returned to customers within five days. Nearly 45 per cent of the batteries that the shop receives is from international customers including aircraft operators, industry partners, OEMs, competitors, and international military.
Brian Teeters, Team Leader said, “When the Lincoln facility added two new maintenance hangars in 2014, the battery shop saw an increase in business from aircraft on-site for maintenance.”
The company has continued to grow with the addition of the new Duncan Aviation maintenance hangar in Provo, Utah. The battery shop which is of 251-square-foot has dedicated rooms for both lead acid and NiCad battery services.
