With more than 80,000 units delivered to customers in over 100 countries, our products are proven to perform. Until April 2018, we sold our products under the brand names: AXA Power, Hobart, Houchin, ITW GSE Military and J&B Aviation Now we are simply ITW GSE - same great people, same great products, same great company.
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact GPU series is the market's best choice when it comes to 400 Hz solid-state, point-of-use GPUs. It is small and simple, reliable and robust. It has all kinds of outstanding technical qualities from the unique output voltage at the aircraft plug, the common ITW GSE user interface, the standard overload capabilities that matches all types of aircraft to software update via USB.
The 2400 Compact GPU is equipped with the patented Plug & Play system. Therefore, you experience an outstanding voltage quality at the aircraft plug. This is what matters and what makes your aircraft accept the voltage from the GPU. The Plug & Play means that the ITW GSE 2400 Compact fulfills the stringent requirements of most installations as it compensates for long symmetrical output cables, unbalanced loads as well as various power factors. The magnetic wave-shaping topology ensures a clean input power with a unity power factor and a current THD less than 5%.
The ITW GSE 2400 Compact provides
The ITW GSE 2400 Power Coil includes a 400 Hz, 90 kVA power supply and a cable coil in one single enclosure.
This leaves the PBB and the apron nice and neat and pleasant to look at. Especially, where glass bridges is the preferred solution, the aesthetic aspect is important. The Power Coil works perfectly well with all sizes of bridges and all types of aircraft.
The ITW GSE 2400 Power Coil offers a highly reliable and robust design including a front plate in stainless steel. The Power Coil has an improved cable guidance system that ensures easy and smooth cable handling.
As a standard, the Power Coil comes with 24m of cable (useable length). However, the spacious housing has room for at least 28m cable. The cable is rolled completely into the housing after use. The rolling automatically stops when the plug head is level with the lower edge of the Power Coil thus leaving the apron free.

ITW GSE 7400 eGPU - For Cleaner and Greener Airports
The ITW GSE 7400 eGPU offers flexibility, zero emissions, low noise level and reliable power. It simply changes how airports think about ground power.
Airports all over the world are interested in reducing their environmental impact. Often the world's largest airports are located next to major cities that are growing in line with global trends, meaning cities and airports are coming into ever-closer contact. This leads to stricter requirements in terms of the emissions local governments can and will accept. To support greener and cleaner airports and a better working environment for the airport staff, the ITW GSE 7400 is the answer.
The ITW GSE 7400 eGPU is a ground breaking power unit without compromises. It is independent due to the onboard battery packs and you can easily transport the unit to wherever it is needed. The highly flexible 7400 eGPU provides the same outstanding, well-proven features as other ITW GSE solid-state GPUs, including accurate and clean output voltage at the aircraft plug, and individual phase regulation of each output phase. It can perform multiple turnarounds before it needs recharging, and the recharge can be done from any standard 50/60Hz socket.
The combination of two well-proven technologies i.e. Nissan batteries at input and an ITW GSE solid-state converter at output has created this rock-solid eGPU that is already making many airports all over the world a lot greener.
The ITW GSE 7400 JetEx, 28 VDC eGPU is a purely battery driven unit. Therefore, it is super quiet and emission free to the benefit of operators and staff. It also makes the eGPU ideal for hangar and for remote use as well.
The eGPU can be used for engine start, ramp operations or for test of avionics. Actually, the 7400 has enough capacity to perform up to 100 engine starts on a full charge. If need be, the 28 VDC power unit can be charged simultaneously while delivering power to an aircraft. The ITW GSE 7400 JetEx 28 VDC eGPU combines two known technologies into one innovative GPU. The JetEx eGPU is powered by a 4 fourth-generation Nissan Leaf battery pack with a capacity of 40 kWh. The same type of battery as in all Nissan branded electric vehicles. Since 2010, over 400,000 of these vehicles have been sold, with close to 90,000 in 2018 alone. At the output of the eGPU is ITW GSE's well-proven 28 VDC solid-state converter. This combination of two tried and true technologies has created the rock-solid eGPU.
The ITW GSE 7400 JetEx eGPU is well suited to cover the power need for aircraft like the following:
ITW GSE is a trustworthy partner designing and optimizing GSE equipment. We also have strong expertise within cooling technology. The ITW GSE PCA 3400 is the market's most innovative, smartest and environmentally friendly PCA unit for de-centralized use. It supplies fresh, clean air into parked aircraft at carefully monitored temperatures and provides a pleasant atmosphere for the crew and the passengers. It also makes aircraft turn-around faster and more effective.
The point-of-use 3400 PCA is the market's ONLY modular PCA (patented). You can exchange a cooling module in approx. 20 minutes and without dismounting the unit from the installation spot! And the replacement can be done by a technician with no special skills. This smart and innovative PCA is available in the following models: 130 kg/min & 210 kg/min.
Smart advantages of the ITW GSE 3400 Power PCA
The 3400 design breaks completely new ground by using variable frequency drive technology that gives easy, stepless regulation of the discharge temperature. Therefore, the ITW GSE 3400 PCA units supply exactly the required amount of cold air and not more. They use much less energy than other PCAs that are designed for peak load conditions although these conditions probably only apply for 10-20 days each year.
Those PCAs deliver excess capacity for about 80% of the time, wasting lots of expensive energy and creating undesirable emissions. Another advantage of the stepless regulation is less mechanical stress - which boosts reliability and service life and gives you a better return on investment.
