JBT Electric GSE, the Right Decision
Airport ground support equipment is a major investment with many and diverse long-term consequences. Getting the most value for your money is essential.
JBT’s electric GSE is a solid starting point. Our ground support equipment has earned a sterling reputation in the industry. In addition to lower ownership costs and admirable resale value, JBT airport ground equipment is packed with features and options that make it easy to operate, easy to maintain, and highly reliable.
Better for Your Profit Margin
Going electric is worth investigating – it can bring many economic benefits to your business. For example, JBT’s all-electric or diesel-electric hybrid GSE designs help you:
- Save on fuel
- Reduce scheduled maintenance
- Cut maintenance and repair costs
- Improve uptime
Wondering about costs? Electric GSE can be very cost effective. And with JBT’s AmpTek™ technology, it may require less initial investment to go green than you think. Possible grants and subsidies make it even more affordable and attractive.
JBT supplies technologies – like our AmpTek load sharing devices – can support the electrification of ground support equipment without the need to upgrade the power grid or lay cables. Preparing infrastructure for all-electric GSE operations has never been easier or more budget-friendly.
Better for People & the Planet
Beyond money matters, outfitting your operations with electric GSE can be an important environmental gesture. Using electric tow tractors, cargo loaders, cargo transporters, and passenger steps can reduce the emission of particulates and green-house gases.
Another great thing about electric equipment? It runs at whisper-volume. So, your airfield, hangars, and gate areas will be quieter. Less noise means a safer, healthier working environment for your employees and a more pleasant atmosphere for customers and surrounding communities.
Electric Yet Eclectic
JBT’s electric ground support equipment comes in many sizes and configurations, with a range of capabilities. Several families of ground support equipment are available in all-electric variants:
- Cargo loaders from 15,500 pound (7,000 kg) to more than 30,000 pounds (13,000 kg) of lift capacity
- Tow tractors designed to move small business jets up to the B757
- Passenger steps capable of reaching from regional jets up to the main deck of the A380
- Cargo transporters for moving cargo between gates, warehouses, and different handling vehicles
- Diesel-powered equipment easily convertible to battery-power
And we’re just getting started! Continued research and design efforts mean more electric GSE is in the pipeline.
