Power by the Hour
Electrification is accelerating. Power capacity is not.
EcoGate helps you get more out of your existing gate infrastructure without expanding capacity or redesigning your setup.
EcoGate introduces a different way to manage power across your gate infrastructure.
Instead of treating GPU, PCA, and charging as separate systems, EcoGate connects them and manages how power is used across the gate.
This allows multiple systems to operate within the same capacity limit, without compromising critical functions.
Electrification is moving faster than gate infrastructure can support.
The result is a growing gap between your electrification ambitions and what your existing infrastructure can support.
EcoGate brings ground power, pre-conditioned air, and charging together into one coordinated system across your gates.
Each unit is part of a shared system where available power is continuously monitored and distributed based on operational priorities using intelligent power management.
"Gate economics is where we as a company can help. It’s about saving our customers money in whatever they are doing at the gate, whether they are building a brand-new gate or refurbishing an existing facility"
Lars Vestergaard, Sales Director - Europe
EcoGate is designed for airports facing increasing demand without the option to continuously expand infrastructure.
By prioritizing loads and preventing peak overload, EcoGate helps reduce the need for new substations, transformers, and cabling.
GPU, PCA, and charging can operate from the same power source without exceeding capacity limits.
Introduce electrification step by step, without redesigning the entire infrastructure upfront.
Move from fragmented systems to a coordinated setup that can be replicated across gates.

EcoGate continuously monitors and distributes power across all connected equipment at the gate using intelligent power management.
All systems operate within the same power limit.
Traditional gate setups are built around separate systems competing for the same limited power.
This often leads to:
EcoGate changes that dynamic by allowing you to coordinate how power is used across your gates instead of letting systems compete for it.
EcoGate is not a single product, but a coordinated setup of technologies and equipment working together at the gate.
Below are examples of the units that typically form part of an EcoGate solution.

Protect your hoses and ensure safe operations with the ITW GSE 3500 Air Coil .
The Air Coil takes PCA hose management to the next level, delivering unmatched efficiency and sustainability at your gates.
As part of the EcoGate system, the Air Coil and high-performance hoses are engineered to work seamlessly with the 3500 PCA, optimizing the airflow right up to the aircraft inlet.
At the core of the Air Coil’s exceptional performance are the new innovative SuperHose AirTight and SuperHose KinkFree.
Highly insulated and designed to prevent kinks, these advanced hoses reduce air leakage by 40%.
This improves the efficiency of the 3500 PCA by using less power from the mains supply, and in the EcoGate system this excess power can be allocated to other units.
In an EcoGate system, the 2400 GPU always takes priority. ITW GSE 3500 PCA uses intelligent power management to monitor power consumption and then allocates power dynamically. Since your GPU is the most critical connection, the PCA always makes sure this unit gets the power it needs, adjusting its own consumption to ensure that your total gate power capacity is never exceeded.
The 2400 Power Coil benefits from EcoGate by always receiving first-priority power. If the Power Coil experiences a sudden increase in consumption, and the total power demand exceeds what is available, Intelligent Power Management temporarily ‘borrows’ power from your 3500 PCA to meet the need. The gate’s total power capacity is never exceeded.
The 2400 Automatic Cable Retriever (ACR) is part of EcoGate, ITW GSE’s high-efficiency system of ground support units that work together. By linking your ITW GSE units together, you can unlock new efficiencies and remove power-related barriers to affordable progress at the gate.
Our common design platform includes an intuitive icon-based operator interface and shared modular design for optimal service and repair.
Beyond stand-alone operation, the 3500 PCA is designed to integrate seamlessly into a coordinated gate system built on electrification, power sharing, data sharing, and technical synergy. It hosts several EcoGate technologies such as Intelligent Power Management and Automated Aircraft Type Detection.
The 3500 PCA design includes updated VFD technology that allows for easy, stepless regulation of the discharge temperature. This means that the 3500 supplies exactly the right amount of cold air, never more.
The ITW GSE 3500 PCA is a truly modular PCA. It is designed around interchangeable cooling modules that are easy to swap by a technician with no special refrigeration skills and in 20 minutes only. This helps keep aircraft turn-arounds on schedule.
The 3500 PCA uses aircraft ID data from VDGS, BMS and similar systems to deliver optimal air flow to each individual aircraft.
Charge your high voltage GSE by connecting the DC Charger with the ITW GSE 2400 GPU. The GPU will control how much power the DC Charger has available, and you do not need to upgrade your existing infrastructure. Available with one or two outlets of 60 kW (CCS1 or CCS2).
Charge your high voltage GSE with the ITW GSE DC Charger. The charger is available with one or two outlets of 60 kW (CCS2) and can be connected to an ITW GSE 2400 GPU, which will control how much power the charger has available. This means you do not need to upgrade your existing infrastructure.
Hosted in the 3500 PCA, Intelligent Power Management lets airports utilize power infrastructure smarter. It allocates power to other units dynamically, while ensuring that you never exceed your available power capacity.
Moving beyond individual units, EcoGate integrates GSE equipment into a system. An ecosystem, where new efficiencies emerge as units work together to share power and work smarter and a system that enables airports to make improvements they could not make affordably before.
Deploying EcoGate solutions like the ITW GSE Power or DC Charger enables you to charge your 7400 eGPU using your existing power infrastructure and avoid costly upgrades and disruptive ground works.
Airports are expected to reduce emissions, electrify operations, and support growing demand at the same time.
But power capacity, space, and investment cycles do not scale at the same pace.
This creates a structural challenge:
EcoGate provides a way for you to move forward by making better use of your existing infrastructure.
EcoGate starts with understanding your current gate setup.
By understanding how power is used at the gate today, it becomes possible to identify where capacity is underutilized and how operations can be improved.
