GSE refers to airport ground support equipment, i.e. the ground equipment required to operate aircraft, airports and air bases of all kinds. Whatever the field, military or civilian, some vehicles remain essential. Here are some of the basic equipment we manufacture at SOVAM.
This is the equipment that enables passengers, staff and other equipment to board and disembark the aircraft.
These are simple staircases on wheels, linking the tarmac to the aircraft doors. They can be self-propelled or electrically-assisted. Our SPS9.19 is air-transportable, enabling it to be loaded directly into the hold of a military aircraft. To choose your passenger staircase, it’s essential to know the docking heights.
These are lifting vehicles used for loading and unloading foodstuffs and goods in the case of catering, or for loading people with reduced mobility in the case of HELP vehicles.
This equipment is particularly used in the military sector.
Aircraft towing equipment is indispensable, and falls into two categories.
As their name suggests, these are vehicles used to move the baggage carried by aircraft. Whether civilian or military, these vehicles are often seen on airport tarmacs. They can also tow small aircraft or other equipment.
These machines are quite similar to baggage tractors in form and function. They are, however, more powerful vehicles, capable of moving aircraft weighing up to 105 tonnes.
At an airport, whether civil or military, being able to repair and maintain aircraft parts such as engines and the like is a must. At SOVAM, we offer maintenance platforms in particular.
These platforms, with a floor height of 5 to 12 meters, are indispensable. Given the gargantuan size of aircraft, it is important to have platforms that can reach the various parts of the aircraft, while ensuring the all-important safety of both operators and the aircraft itself.
In addition to aerial work platforms, a whole range of small equipment is also required for aircraft maintenance and repair. In our case, these include stepladders.
Sanitary vehicles are also essential to the smooth running of an airport or military airbase. At SOVAM, we offer both servicing and drinking water vehicles. The basic design is the same for both equipment, but the first is used to drain and disinfect aircraft toilet tanks. The second is used to fill drinking water tanks.
GSE, or ground support equipment, refers to all the ground-level equipment used at airports and airbases. This equipment, with its many and varied uses, sometimes
Aircraft tractors are vehicles whose role, as their name suggests, is to move aircraft around an airport. They are therefore very powerful vehicles, capable of
