The Cartwright Group has manufactured trailers, drive boxes and refrigerated equipment for more than 60 years. The company is now applying their experience to the world of ground support equipment (GSE), lending its scissor-lift vehicles to aviation applications like catering, cleaning and loading vehicles for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM).
Cartwright GSE officially entered the aviation market when it acquired Emtek Services in 2017. Company officials say their production capacity and quality standards combined with Emtek’s experience in the GSE market positions them favorably to supply this equipment.
Company officials exhibiting at inter airport Europe last fall in Munich, Germany, explained Cartwright GSE can provide two sizes of vehicle to cover several aircraft ranges and multiple sill heights.
Cartwright GSE, which has a dedicated manufacturing facility in Manchester, England, also provides conversion services. The ability to modify vehicles to be fit-for-purpose facilitated the company’s transition into the GSE market.
