Crane Cabin Systems' Aerospace Legacy
P.L. Porter pioneered the Hydrolok, the first hydraulic aircraft seat recline device, in the 1940s. The product line then matured into electrically-powered seat actuation systems, including designs for single, double, and triple-passenger premium seats. Today, the mcX™ Premium Seat Control System delivers a smooth, quiet, seamless experience for business and first-class customers.
Now known as Crane Cabin Systems, our products are flying on every large commercial aircraft today, from over 50,000 premium seat control systems to over 1 million main cabin seat recline systems. We offer a depth of experience unparalleled in the industry, upon which our customers can rely.
