GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

  • Ground Handling: Wheels are designed to make the repositioning of grounded aircraft a much easier task. The dual wheels reduce twisting and strain on the skid tubes, as well as providing equal pressure on both sides of the skid tube when raising and lowering the helicopter. Ground Handling Wheels are available in Hydraulic and Mechanical models for a wide variety of aircraft and are also available as lightweight, carry along wheels for emergency situations when away from home base.
  • Tow Bars: Towing systems are designed for one-man operation and are simple to use. They don’t interfere with equipment mounted under the helicopter and can be installed in three to five minutes. The caster wheel assembly can be used separate from the Towbar if desired. The Towbar can also be attached to most towing vehicles. The Hobart GPU-400 and GPU- 600 Solid State ground power units provide precisely regulated 28.5 volt DC service with minimum noise.
  • GPU: These reliable solid state GPU’s are equipped for engine starting in the current limiting “soft start” mode recommended by most airframe manufacturers. Specifically developed in response to customer needs, the GPU-400 and GPU-600 supply the fully regulated, dependable power required by today’s more demanding aircraft. The GPU-400 delivers 400 amperes continuous to 1600 amperes peak for starting, and is available with a 14.25 volt DC option. The GPU-600 delivers 600 A continuous to 2000 amperes peak for starting.

Performance Features:

  • Output DC voltage independent of ±10% input voltage variations
  • Output current limit setting is adjustable over the range of 150 to 1600 amperes for GPU-400; 300 to 2000 amperes for GPU-600
  • Output terminals safely located inside case
  • Separate input and output contactors with status indication lights
  • Convenience receptacle for lights, electric drill, or test instruments
  • T-handle 3-wheel mounting with activated parking brake provides easy maneuverability and stable parking.
  • DC output cable
