GSE Towable Charging Station Options

The AmpCart reimagines airside charging by bringing the power directly to your equipment—wherever it’s parked.

Battery Power

The battery-powered AmpCart has the endurance to charge several pieces of equipment before needing to recharge itself. The power source is from a single grid input or integrated power source.

Facility Power

Designed to plug into standard 480V industrial power, this version offers a simple, cost-effective charging solution with no additional power upgrades required.

Diesel Generator

The diesel-powered AmpCart delivers reliable mobile charging in areas without access to fixed electrical infrastructure.

Mobile eGSE Charging Station Key Features

  • Mobility and Flexibility: As a towable platform, AmpCart brings charging directly to eGSE anywhere on the tarmac, eliminating the need to move equipment to fixed charging stations.
  • Simultaneous Charging: The AmpCart is capable of charging up to eight (8) eGSE units at the same time, maximizing turnaround efficiency and reducing idle time.
  • Scalability: AmpCart supports all electric GSE fleets, enabling airports to scale operations efficiently while transitioning to sustainable, electric-powered equipment.
  • Infrastructure Independence: Address delays in upgrading power grids or installing fixed charging stations, allowing airports to adopt eGSE fleets without waiting for extensive electrical upgrades.

Ground Support Charging Equipment Details

AmpCart platforms come equipped with battery chargers, swing arms, cables, cable retractors, and Anderson A320 connectors, making GSE charging easy. Additionally, all components are well known across the industry, making them familiar to setup, easy to maintain, and widely available. We offer multiple configurations:

  • Dynamic operations meet sustainability: Looking to improve your battery-powered GSE fleet? The battery-powered AmpCart has enough power to charge several pieces of equipment before it needs charging itself.
  • Remote operations without grid power: For situations far from available grid power, the AmpCart unit acts as a mobile generator and battery charging platform. The AmpCart system can be supplied with a diesel generator, supplying power to 4 to 6 battery chargers right where operations are taking place. With the mobility of a diesel generator, the AmpCart unit can charge electric vehicles even when working miles from a charging station.
  • Grid power flexibility: Connect the AmpCart unit to a single grid input power source, energizing 4 to 6 chargers with dual output cables for fast charging. You can conveniently position your AmpCart unit to a source of grid power anywhere on the ramp and immediately begin charging your GSE remotely.

Adapts to Your Infrastructure

AmpCart is available in three power formats—facility power, diesel generator, and battery power—allowing you to select the version that best matches your airport’s current electrical capabilities. Whether you're working near a 480V power source or operating in a remote corner of the ramp, AmpCart brings reliable charging to where it’s needed most.

Supports Remote and High-Traffic Zones

With towable mobility and the ability to charge up to eight eGSE units simultaneously, AmpCart eliminates the inefficiencies of moving vehicles back and forth to centralized stations. It’s the ideal solution for high-traffic areas, outlying gates, and temporary ramp setups.

Reduces Downtime and Boosts Efficiency

From busy hubs to regional operations, minimizing equipment downtime is critical. AmpCart ensures your eGSE stays powered, helping crews stay on schedule and operations run smoothly—without being dependent on fixed charging infrastructure.

Scales with Your Sustainability Goals

The addition of a new battery-powered AmpCart means you now have even more ways to integrate clean energy into ground support operations, regardless of where you are in the journey.

Electrification and Carbon Neutrality Goals

As airports move toward carbon neutrality and fully electric ramp operations, AmpCart grows with you. AmpCart supports your long-term goals for electrifying ground support equipment and addressing carbon emissions by promoting efficient operations before expensive and lengthy infrastructure upgrades are available. 

AmpCart technology is the solution to a smooth transition to all-electric GSE.

Even in remote operations, where electric GSE is normally not practical and grid power is unavailable, the AmpCart makes the conversion feasible. One AmpCart can support 20 or more eGSE units.
