New ground support equipment offers cutting edge technology, fuel savings and many other benefits. But new GSE also comes with a price tag. The result is fleets of GSE that vary in age all across the world.
According to a recent purchasing study conducted by Ground Support Worldwide, more than 46 percent of those surveyed said the average age of equipment in their GSE fleet was 10-19 years.
Another 31 percent of those surveyed said the average age of their GSE was 5-9 years while approximately 13 percent reported an average age of 0-4 years.
There is still older equipment out in the field though. In fact, 5 percent of those surveyed have a fleet of GSE with an average age of 20-29 years and nearly 3 percent of those who took the survey reported an average age of 30+ years.
What is the average age of equipment in your GSE fleet? Have you experienced any benefits or dealt with any disadvantages because of the age of your fleet? Comment below to continue the conversation.
