Universal Steerable Running Gears for GSE
Custom steerable trailer chassis for GPUs and other towed airport equipment, up to 10 tonnes.
Drawing on KNOTT's core business in trailer chassis components, these universal steerable running gears are custom-engineered chassis for any towed device, including ground power units and other airport ground support equipment. Axles can be braked or unbraked, suspended or rigid, with turntable or Ackermann steering on one or both axles, and parking-brake activation by lever, by raising the towbar, or by lowering it to the ground. KNOTT can deliver a complete chassis together with a customer-designed lower body frame.
