Ground Support Equipment

Ground Support Equipment includes specialized tools, handling devices and auxiliary technical equipment used for aircraft maintenance, inspection, repair and overhaul. In hangar, workshop and field conditions, this equipment helps technicians safely lift, position, connect, measure, service and remove aircraft components during routine or heavy maintenance work.

This category may include lifting beams, slings, handling fixtures, hydraulic servicing units, plug and connector sets, alignment tools, measuring devices, installation fixtures, test adapters and special maintenance equipment for engines, rotor systems, landing gear, airframe structures and onboard systems. Depending on the task, ground support tools may be used for component removal, assembly positioning, hydraulic servicing, system checks, dimensional inspection or preparation of aircraft units for overhaul.

Ground support equipment is widely used during servicing of Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-171, Mi-24, Mi-26, Ka-32 helicopters, as well as An-24, An-26, An-32, IL-series aircraft, L-410 and other Soviet or Russian-designed aviation platforms. For older aircraft fleets, correct tooling is often just as important as the spare part itself, because many assemblies require dedicated fixtures, lifting adapters or alignment devices for safe installation and removal.

In maintenance practice, GSE is normally selected by aircraft type, system application, tool designation, drawing reference, load capacity, connection interface and the specific maintenance procedure. Similar-purpose tools may differ by geometry, lifting point, mounting interface or approved aircraft application, so selection is usually checked against maintenance manuals, repair documentation or workshop requirements.

This category is intended for base maintenance, line maintenance, overhaul shops, mobile technical teams and aircraft operators supporting helicopter and fixed-wing fleets. Depending on the specific item and customer requirement, ground support equipment may be supplied in factory new, serviceable, storage-preserved or overhauled condition.

Aviamisto supplies aviation ground support equipment, aircraft maintenance tools, lifting fixtures, hydraulic servicing devices and related technical equipment for MRO organizations, repair facilities, fleet operators and aviation parts suppliers. Some standard positions may be available from UAE or EU stock locations, while less common tools and fixtures are sourced upon request according to aircraft type, part number, tool designation and technical documentation.
