Explore our elite range of towable and self-propelled ground support vehicles, engineered to demanding international flightline standards.
In the highly regulated ecosystem of airfield services, minimizing aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) usage is a operational necessity. An aircraft parked at the gate or in a maintenance hangar requires continuous electrical power to sustain environmental controls, flight deck instrumentation, lighting, and critical system self-checks. Running the aircraft’s onboard APU is not only highly fuel-inefficient but also generates substantial carbon emissions, noise pollution, and accelerates engine wear.
A Ground Power Unit (GPU) acts as the primary external power source, bridging the gap between flight operations. Our solutions deliver either 115/200 V AC at 400 Hz or 28.5 V DC power directly to the aircraft receptacle. By utilizing advanced solid-state frequency converters or high-efficiency diesel rotary units, airports can drastically reduce their ground-level carbon footprints, save on jet fuel, and ensure absolute electrical safety for both commercial narrow-body, wide-body, and military aircraft airframes.
Understanding the operational demands of your flightline determines the optimal power delivery system:
Utilizing IGBT double-conversion technology, these units convert local utility power directly to 400Hz. They feature zero local emissions, near-silent operation, and minimal maintenance overhead, making them ideal for bridge-mounted passenger terminals and enclosed hangars.
Equipped with stage-V compliant diesel engines coupled with brushless synchronous alternators. Designed for remote aprons and military field operations where grid access is nonexistent. They provide rugged, independent power under extreme operational envelopes.
The cutting-edge frontier of zero-emission flightline ground support. High-capacity LiFePO4 battery banks offer complete independence from fuel and localized cables. Perfect for green airport mandates seeking a complete elimination of combustion engines.
Operating from our centralized industrial manufacturing zone in China, we leverage a highly mature component sourcing ecosystem to engineer bespoke Ground Power Units at highly competitive price points. Unlike assembly-only operations, our factory manages end-to-end production: from high-frequency magnetic winding, transformer core lamination processing, structural metal fabrication with anti-corrosive marine-grade coatings, to complex PLC system integration.
By consolidating our production flow, we eliminate third-party delays and enforce rigorous quality control measures at every stage. We utilize tier-one components from global brands such as Schneider for switchgear, Siemens for programmable control units, and Cummins or Deutz for diesel powertrains, ensuring spare parts are readily available worldwide.
Our factory is equipped with dedicated, state-of-the-art testing bays, featuring computerized resistive and reactive load banks capable of simulating transient surges and long-duration overloads up to 150% capacity. Every GPU undergoes strict validation testing before shipment, matching actual flightline conditions.
Standard off-the-shelf units rarely meet the unique constraints of global airport infrastructures. Our engineering team provides tailor-made modifications including:
Aviation ground support operations leave zero room for error. The electrical connection between a ground power source and an aircraft's high-value avionics system is a critical point of vulnerability. Our equipment is built, inspected, and certified to meet the absolute peak of international quality standards:
| Regulation / Standard | Technical Requirement Covered | Our Compliance Implementation |
|---|---|---|

| DFS 400 | German military and European civil specifications for 400 Hz ground power. | Double-shielded output power isolation and active voltage transient limits. |
| MIL-STD-704F | Aircraft electric power characteristics for defence applications. | Designed to sustain tactical transient loads without deviating from voltage envelopes. |
| EN 61000-6-4 / 2 | Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) emissions and immunity. | Integrated active EMI filters preventing interference with airport VHF/UHF radar communications. |
| IATA AHM 922 | Functional safety requirements for passenger and cargo aircraft GSE. | Interlocking plug sensors that automatically disconnect power if the cable is decoupled prematurely. |
To ensure operational continuity in international hubs, we secure localized support networks. By utilizing standardized modules, ground operators can quickly execute preventive maintenance routines. We maintain stock depots in major strategic hubs, guaranteeing that consumable parts—such as contactors, relays, and output cable assemblies—arrive at your facility within 48 to 72 hours.
Beyond our specialized Ground Power Units, our industrial capabilities span the entire spectrum of Ground Support Equipment (GSE). Every vehicle and dolly is engineered in our factory using matching manufacturing standards, providing airlines and ground service providers with unified fleet systems.

Aviation ground support equipment must operate without interruption in the harshest climates on Earth. Standard units fail when subjected to severe thermal cycles or marine-level salinity. Our custom designs address localized environmental extremes through targeted modifications:
In airports located in northern Canada, Scandinavia, or Siberia, diesel engines suffer from fuel waxing and battery capacity drops. We integrate custom engine block pre-heaters, insulated battery compartments with active heating mats, and specialized low-temperature synthetic lubricants rated down to -40°C to guarantee reliable starts during critical operations.
Operating in the Middle East or North Africa requires dust mitigation and superior heat dissipation. Our GPUs feature oversized radiators, dual sand-trap air filters, and high-flow IP55-rated ventilation fans that prevent electrical thermal derating even at ambient temperatures reaching +55°C.
Corrosive marine air quickly damages standard sheet metal and exposed copper terminals. We apply a C5-M class marine-grade polyurethane coating system to our steel frames. All wiring harnesses are double-insulated, and electrical junction boxes are sealed to IP66 specifications with gold-plated connection points.
Our mission is to make their choices firm and correct, to create greater value for customers and to realize their own value.
