Custom Ground Support Equipment for MRO: Elevating Aerospace Safety

Ravi Kumar GR·January 14, 2026

From docking scissor lifts to tow bars and assembly platforms, learn how purpose-built GSE keeps aircraft maintenance safe, compliant, and efficient.

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities demand Ground Support Equipment (GSE) that meets the highest safety and precision standards. An incorrectly specified platform or scissor lift can create foreign-object debris (FOD) risks, jeopardise technician safety, or cause airframe damage.

Types of GSE We Supply

Aircraft Access Platforms

Designed to provide stable, adjustable working access to fuselage, engine nacelles, and tail sections. Available in fixed-height, mobile, and motorised variants with anti-slip decking and fall-arrest anchor points as standard.

Docking Scissor Lifts

Heavy-duty scissor lifts rated from 500 kg to 5,000 kg, used for engine changes, landing gear inspections, and avionics bay access. Our designs incorporate stabiliser outriggers, manual-lowering backup, and DGCA-compliant load ratings.

Aircraft Jacks (Tripod & Axle)

Precision hydraulic jacks for nose, main gear, and tail support during structural inspections. Calibrated load cells and safety lock mechanisms are standard.

Tow Bars

Custom tow bars engineered to aircraft-specific nose gear attachment points, available for narrow-body, wide-body, and regional aircraft types.

Certifications and Compliance

All Tsukai aerospace GSE is designed and tested in accordance with:

  • **IS 1891** (general industrial safety)
  • **DGCA CAR Section 2** guidelines where applicable
  • Customer-specific aircraft maintenance manuals (AMMs)
  • Why Purpose-Built Matters

    Off-the-shelf industrial platforms often lack the precision alignment, weight distribution, and surface protection coatings needed in an MRO environment. Purpose-built GSE reduces rework, improves technician confidence, and demonstrates airworthiness commitment to DGCA auditors.
