Ground Support Equipment for Aircraft ground support equipment supplies power to a parked aircraft at 115/200 V, 400 Hz AC and/or 28.5 V DC.
This power can be used to operate various aircraft systems and to start aircraft engines equipped with an electric starter.
Available in towable trailer-mounted, skid-mounted and self-propelled configurations.

MAK manufactures Ground Power Units (GPUs) for commercial and defence applications and has over three decades of experience in digital 400 Hz GPU technology.
A diesel engine or electric motor coupled with MAK’s highly reliable alternator provides stable and reliable power to aircraft. With a touchscreen control panel and interactive GUI, the GPU is easy to operate and maintain.
The MAK AC Ground Power Unit can also be supplied with an additional 28.5 V DC module and a compact 50 Hz inverter to provide commercial power for tools, appliances, and other equipment used during aircraft maintenance.
MAK RDMS comes as a standard feature with MAK Ground Support Equipment (GSE). It is a feature-rich remote monitoring and diagnostic system that provides parameter monitoring, fault alarms, alerts, and periodic maintenance information. For more details, please refer to the MAK RDMS brochure.
MAK 28.5 V DC GPUs powered by diesel engines are designed for smaller turboprop aircraft requiring 600 A / 800 A DC and starting currents of 1500 A / 2500 A DC. These units are designed to be compact, considering the space constraints around smaller aircraft.
MAK Battery carts provide 28.5V DC output through its specially manufactured high discharge batteries. These battery carts contribute to environmental friendliness, noiseless operation and need regular maintenance activities.
MAK designs and manufactures self-propelled type GPUs for customers requiring quick shuttle across aircraft bays and also to cover long distance between GSE workshop and aircraft bays. Self-propelled systems operates on electric or hydraulic system and can also be made skid mounted for fitting on standard commercial trucks based on customer discretion.
MAK GSE Monitor – A touchscreen control panel with an interactive GUI that displays a graphical summary of key parameters, along with built-in maintenance charts, fault logs, and troubleshooting guides.
A unique feature of MAK that comes as standard with MAK GSE. It is feature rich software and hardware built for remote monitoring and diagnostics with parameter monitoring, Geo locations, fault alarms, maintenance alerts etc. It is a complete management tool for a GSE-Head. On touch of a button one can communicate with the equipment and complete history is made available at finger tips.
MAK Ground Power Unit is built with strength to handle tough operating conditions under any weather whilst being compact and effortless maneuverable facilitating smooth towing.
MAK GPU’s are designed to comply with stringent standards such as AHM, ARP, MIL..etc. MAK GPU’s are CE Certified enabling universal usage and provides customers a unit par excellence.
There are various operational and physical protection mechanisms designed & Incorporated in MAK GPUs making them operationally fail-safe and secure during any untoward faults or basic mishandling.
Following parameters are displayed through GUI touchscreen on a graphical format for quick understanding
