Airports Terminal Services
Airport electrification is accelerating across Australia. Ground support equipment fleets are transitioning to electric, but airside infrastructure installation faces unique constraints. Grid Rig mobile charging stations deploy where aircraft operations demand, providing flexible GSE charging without disrupting terminal operations or requiring extensive airside construction.
Airport Ground Support Equipment Charging Solutions
The Challenge: Airside Charging Infrastructure
Airport ground support operations require 24/7 charging infrastructure for diverse electric equipment across vast terminal areas, but face severe space constraints, strict uptime requirements, and the challenge of supporting mixed fleets during the transition to electrification.
Airside Construction Complexity
Installing permanent charging infrastructure airside requires working around flight schedules, security protocols, and operational zones. Construction windows are limited. Approval processes are lengthy. Meanwhile, electric baggage tugs, belt loaders, and pushback tractors need charging infrastructure that airports struggle to install fast enough.
Distributed Charging Needs
GSE operates across terminals, cargo facilities, and remote stands. Fixed charging points can't cover every location where equipment operates. Vehicles waste productive time travelling to distant charging locations. Effective GSE electrification needs charging capacity positioned where equipment actually works.
The Solution: Mobile Airside Charging
Deploy Where Equipment Operates
Grid Rig units position at gates, cargo areas, or maintenance zones without permanent installation. Move charging capacity between terminals as flight schedules shift. Relocate units during construction or reconfiguration. Provide charging at remote stands where fixed infrastructure doesn't reach.
Charge Multiple Equipment Types
From small baggage tugs to large cargo loaders, Grid Rig supports the full range of electric GSE. CCS1/CCS2 charging handles vehicle charging while industrial sockets power ground power units and other airside equipment. One mobile solution addresses multiple electrification requirements.
Why Grid Rig for Aviation?
Aviation Environment Ready
Grid Rig units meet the safety and compliance standards aviation operations require. AS3000 Part One certification, IP54 protection, and comprehensive fire safety systems satisfy airside equipment requirements. Our documentation supports the procurement and approval processes airport operators follow.
Scale With Fleet Transition
Start with charging capacity for initial electric GSE deployments. Add units as your fleet transition progresses. Grid Rig lets airports match charging infrastructure to actual electric vehicle numbers rather than building permanent infrastructure for future fleet projections.
