Ground Support Equipment
In addition to tripod jacks, axle jacks, tow bars and
the engine change systems COBRA HYDRO`s port-
folio includes the full range of GSE products.
The close collaboration of HYDRO’s project en-
gineers with the aircraft manufacturers for final
assembly line configuration enables HYDRO to
design the GSE for a new aircraft type before the
first aircraft is delivered to an airline customer. All
GSE products are manufactured in house. Both,
the outstanding quality made in Germany and the
robust design, guarantee a trouble-free operation
and a long-life cycle.
HYDRO has established a warehouse strategy for
its top-selling GSE products. Top seller products in
standard equipment and color are manufactured in
cost efficient batch sizes on stock. This provides the
customer with lower sales prices and guarantees
shortest lead times.
