Unlike a diesel GPU, Coolspool battery carts are simply connected to a charger at the end of the day. Annual savings in fuel and maintenance are typically between $40,000 and $300,000 dollars compared with a diesel GPU running daily. There are no diesel costs, no exhaust, no noise, no pollution – and no maintenance.
Direct cost comparisons between a diesel GPU and a Coolspool show savings enabling many operators to amortise the Coolspool GPU in less than 6 months while benefiting from the favourable public and corporate publicity of using environment-friendly equipment.
The modular design of the advanced technology battery pack allows rapid swap-out if necessary. Batteries are sealed, maintenance-free and cleared for air transportation. Able to be used by personnel with the minimum of technical knowledge, Coolspool GPUs are easy to operate and repair.
The Coolspool battery cart range is perfect for remote operations, ramp/hangar duty or regular line operations. Unlike diesel GPUs which need regular maintenance, the Coolspool carts need only a single or 3-phase mains connection for their charger – depending on charge time.
For operators with multiple DC aircraft movements requiring several Coolspool carts, Powervamp supplies a remote multi-charge station which allows several battery carts to be simultaneously re-charged. Because the special cells have no memory effect, carts not in use can be recharged at any time.
