EcoGate

A visionary approach to advancing gate economics

EcoGate - towards the future of airport gates

As long as aircraft have been flying, auxiliary equipment has been used to provide critical services on the ground.

This equipment keeps getting better, and we are proud of the part we’ve played in improving GSE over many decades.

Until now, we’ve always looked at our equipment as individual units. Yet today’s airports want gate economics you can only achieve by treating GSE equipment as a single integrated system.

This is what EcoGate is all about.

What is EcoGate for Airports?

EcoGate is a high-efficiency system of ITW GSE ground support units that work together intelligently.

The 3500 PCA combines with other EcoGate-enabled equipment to form the system as a whole.

Data communication will enable units to share critical information.

IPM and other technologies allocate available power to units, prioritizing your GPUs.

The entire system is designed to facilitate continuous optimization of critical gate functions.

Benefits for any airport

  • Advance your gate economics with improvements you could not make affordably before
  • Optimize equipment efficiencies and reduce the risk of human error
  • Electrify your gate and reduce your carbon footprint further
  • Modernize your infrastructure planning based on a microgrid approach
  • Start your journey towards integrated solutions and services at the gate
EcoGate for Airports is a high-efficiency system of ITW GSE ground support units that work together intelligently. The 3500 PCA is the brain behind the visionary approach to advancing gate economics.

The beating heart of EcoGate

The new 3500 PCA hosts many of the technologies that make EcoGate possible.

Intelligent Power Management
- the ability to manage and share power

Automated Aircraft Type Detection
- VDGS data integration communicates the
exact aircraft type to the ITW GSE PCA

This makes our PCA flagship the starting point for realizing EcoGate at your airport.

Air Coil

A new PCA Air Coil makes your hose handling easier. Using remote control, the coil can be operated by one person in a simple and safe manner, minimizing wear on the air hose and the aircraft coupling. This also leaves the apron free of equipment.

Coming soon.

Hose

A new PCA hose features patented technology that prevents kinking and keeps air leaks to a minimum.

Coming soon.

2400 compact bridge mounted for ecogate

Power Coil

The bridge-mounted 400 Hz GPU with integrated cable coil is automatically allocated the power it needs from the EcoGate-enabled 3500 PCA.

Cable Retriever

An improved advanced cable retriever (ACR) ensures the right cable distribution between your 400 Hz GPU and the aircraft.

400 Hz GPU

The bridge-mounted 400 Hz GPU is automatically allocated the power it needs from the EcoGate-enabled 3500 PCA.
