TK Elevator's Ground Power Units (GPUs) supply electrical power to docked aircraft from the gate, removing the need to run the more energy-intensive, higher-emission aircraft auxiliary power unit (APU). They can be apron- or bridge-mounted to suit gate-space constraints, with optional hoist-hose systems, and by being fixed to the infrastructure they remove support vehicles from the apron to improve safety.
