Abstract

A carriage configured to transport an aircraft engine module from a preparation station to an assembly station includes, on a dolly, a reinforcement structure configured to be made horizontally mobile by sliding on balls, two vertically mobile brackets, and moving fingers to slide under the module's supports. The module is then supported by the carriage in a safe manner, can be raised and transported, and can also be temporarily overturned to check that its interior is empty.
