Ground support equipment is to an aircraft what a car jack is to a car. It comprises equipment and tools for carrying out aircraft maintenance on the ground. This may be a transport cart for air conditioning equipment or a special tool for dismantling a servo on the vertical tail 20 meters up.

When these tools are designed it is important to consider the available space, where on the aircraft they are to be used, and the necessary strength - and also to comply with CE requirements and the Machinery Directive. It is also important to bear in mind the global availability of the materials used.

The specialists at IndustrieHansa have been reliable and expert partners in the design of a wide range of different maintenance tools for many years.
