Services
Aldertools supplies tooling & support to Operators and Technicians providing service & maintenance for Rolls-Royce Avon, Olympus and RB211 gas turbine engines.
Specialist Tooling Supply
From Hand Tools to Heavy Maintenance, Aldertools supplies precision-built new and traceable pre-owned tooling.
Whether you need a single specialist hand tool or a complete tooling package, Aldertools can source and supply equipment to suit your gas turbine service and maintenance requirements.
Our range covers everything from precision hand tooling and torque equipment to specialist engine stands, lifters and heavy maintenance tooling.
We supply tooling through two trusted routes:
-
New Fabrications: Purpose-built tooling manufactured by experienced engineering fabricators to the required specification.
-
Pre-Owned Tooling: Carefully selected and inspected equipment, assessed for condition and suitability before supply.
Where required, we can also help with obsolete or unavailable OEM tooling. If a critical tool is no longer readily available, we can support the design and fabrication of a suitable replacement, helping keep your maintenance programme on track.
Technical & Sourcing Support
Technical support to identify and source tooling for your maintenance scope.
Identifying the right tooling for a specific maintenance task can be time consuming, particularly when working through manuals, drawings and part numbers. Aldertools can work with your team to identify the tooling required for the job and help simplify the sourcing process.
Our support can include:
-
Workscope Review: Discuss your planned maintenance or service requirements with our team to identify a practical tooling solution.
-
Tooling Identification: Tell us the engine area or component you are working on, such as the COC, and we can help identify the specialist tooling associated with the task.
-
Sourcing & Supply: If you already have the specifications or part numbers, we can source and supply the required tooling through our established supply network.
From identifying a single specialist tool to supporting a complete workscope, we help make the tooling requirement easier to define and source before the work begins.
Our Onsite Capabilities & Tooling Supply
​
Borescope Inspection: Where required, Aldertools can arrange onsite specialist borescope inspections to provide a detailed visual assessment of internal engine components.
Borescope inspection can help identify potential damage, deterioration or areas requiring further assessment without unnecessary disassembly.
​
Targeted Engine Guidance: Beyond inspection, we can discuss current areas of concern, planned maintenance activities and future workscope requirements with your onsite team. This can help establish the tooling requirements associated with the work and support the sourcing process.
The scope of any inspection or technical support is agreed according to the individual requirement.
​
Turnkey Tooling Provision: We simplify the process of sourcing specialist tooling by providing a complete solution matched to the specific requirements of your workscope. From specialist engine build stands and lifters to high-integrity hand tooling and torque multipliers. We can supply premium new and traceable pre-owned tooling selected for the application.
Take Control of Your Maintenance:
Aldertools helps operators extend their onsite maintenance capability by supplying specialist tooling matched to the engine and workscope.
​
From engine-specific stands and lifters to precision hand tooling, torque equipment and specialist maintenance tools, we can identify and supply the equipment required for the job.
Having the appropriate tooling available can give maintenance teams greater flexibility when work is required, reducing reliance on external support for suitable tasks and helping avoid unnecessary call-outs, scheduling constraints and workshop lead times.
Where appropriate to the workscope and site procedures, completing suitable maintenance onsite can also help reduce engine removals, transport requirements and associated disruption.
Why Choose Aldertools?
​
Supporting Planned Maintenance: Where the workscope allows, onsite inspection, diagnosis and maintenance can be carried out directly at your facility, helping minimise disruption during periods of peak heating and power demand.
​
Empower Your In-House Team: By combining the right specialist tooling with practical engineering guidance, we help your onsite technicians undertake maintenance with greater confidence and capability. This supports a more proactive, condition-based approach to maintenance and can help reduce avoidable downtime and overall maintenance costs.
​
Minimize Engine Downtime: Onsite support can reduce the need to remove equipment and send components to external overhaul facilities, helping avoid unnecessary transportation, customs delays and workshop backlogs. Where practical, identifying and addressing issues at the engine can help return equipment to service more efficiently.
