eGSE

GSE plays a significant role in the air cargo industry, and it should play just as significant a role in the future of sustainability within the industry.

Developing the infrastructure needed to support the industry’s migration to electric equipment will require cooperation between all stakeholders.

GSE that utilizes lithium-ion batteries are becoming more prolific and offer ground service providers a number of positive benefits.

How GSE manufacturers are bringing more sustainability to ground handling.

As several factors across the industry are driving the adoption of electric ground support equipment, many manufacturers are finding success within this segment.

How GSE powered by alternative energy can provide benefits to ground service providers.

Environmental regulations have been a driver for eGSE conversions, but battery-powered equipment can offer additional benefits.

Seeking a longer lifespan from its fleet of electric burden carriers, American Airlines found its solution after trialing thin plate pure lead technology.

Requirements for electric ground support equipment may vary from its diesel counterparts, but proper maintenance must be performed correctly to remain efficient.

The maintenance-free batteries offer big power in a small footprint while powering environmentally conscious ground handling operations.

Through a partnership with EPS, PCS and Kubota, the airline has rolled out more than a dozen repowered baggage tractors while establishing a process to better facilitate upgrades...

Since deploying its first units nearly a decade ago, the airline has converted approximately 75 percent of its Charlotte hub’s fleet to eGSE.

Harlan’s lithium battery-powered tractors have helped WestJet and Air Canada improve air quality in bag rooms while continuing to operate in a harsh climate.
