HGPU

Hydraulic Ground Power Unit

Hydraulic Ground Power Units are mainly used inside the hangar. A crucial factor for these operators is the noise. With a noise level of 72 dB, full load, at a distance of 1 meter makes communication hassle-free. The well-engineered design of the hydraulic cart has many advantages. One of the highlights is its clean functioning. The hydraulic installations and the cooling are separated. Therefore it is impossible that Skydrol contaminates the environment. Neither the aircraft nor the operator will suffer from oil contamination, saving a lot of time and hassle in cleaning processes.
