Aircraft maintenance operations require precise interventions in environments where operator safety and equipment protection are critical. To meet these challenges, aviation professionals need access solutions that combine compactness, manoeuvrability and performance.
It was in this context that the 2026 China Civil Aviation Maintenance & Intelligent Manufacturing Conference, held on October 20 and 21 in Shanghai, brought together leading players from the aviation maintenance and intelligent manufacturing industries in China. During the event, Haulotte China highlighted its expertise in aviation applications through the presentation of the STAR 10 vertical mast lift.
Meeting the specific challenges of aviation operations
Whether for aircraft maintenance, aircraft manufacturing, hangar maintenance or ground support equipment servicing, working at height in aviation environments requires solutions capable of operating close to high-value assets. During the exhibition, the Haulotte booth showcased the many applications of its aerial work platforms in aviation environments, with a clear message: providing safe and efficient access while helping to protect aircraft and infrastructure.

STAR 10: compactness and precision for professionals
As the centrepiece of the booth, the STAR 10 attracted visitors' attention thanks to a design particularly suited to confined environments. Its compact dimensions, zero tail swing, ease of use and precise controls make it especially well suited to aircraft maintenance operations. Visitors had the opportunity to see the machine in working configuration, with the mast elevated and jib deployed, while discussing the specific requirements of the aviation industry with Haulotte experts.
Strengthening Haulotte's presence in the aviation market
One of the highlights of the event was an official guided tour that stopped at the Haulotte booth. On this occasion, Roy BA, General Manager of Haulotte China, introduced the STAR 10 and demonstrated its benefits for aviation-related applications. Throughout the two-day event, the sales and marketing teams also engaged with numerous visitors, creating new business opportunities and gaining valuable insight into a rapidly evolving industry.
"The aviation industry is looking for solutions that can ensure operator safety, asset protection and operational efficiency at the same time. Our participation in this exhibition gave us the opportunity to demonstrate how Haulotte solutions can meet these requirements and to engage in very positive discussions with industry stakeholders." - Roy BA, General Manager, Haulotte China
