Buying decisions must protect tool availability across dispersed sites and keep maintenance records aligned with internal quality controls. Transport costs and service delays can also make a cheaper purchase more expensive in the long run. Hangars use different types of equipment, including lifting devices, hydraulic systems, electrical units and calibrated instruments. Each type ages differently and has its own failure points...
