Aircraft Ground Power - Engine Drive

Hobart ground power units offer the best combination of superior design, performance, proven reliability and value to meet the critical needs of the airline industry. Hobart's years of engineering expertise by integrating the best in technology and customer influenced design has resulted in ground power units that can be trusted to meet aircraft needs for quality 400Hz power.

Hobart supplies Tier 3 compliant diesel engine GPU's that are designed to meet current and future emission standards. GPU's are available for 60KVA, 90KVA, 120KVA, 140KVA and 180KVA applications.

For aircraft requiring regulated 28.5VDC only, Hobart has the industry's adopted "standard" in the
Jet-Ex 5. This low profile unit with a 5th wheel (turntable) steering feature, provides superior visibility and manoeuverability for use in congested ramp areas.
