Global Ground Support Unveils GTV-5000 Glycol Transfer Vehicle

May 5, 2025
The GTV-5000 streamlines fluid transfer, reduces operational downtime, and advances environmental goals through smarter technology and robust engineering.

Global Ground Support, provider of aircraft ground support equipment, announces the launch of the GTV-5000, a Glycol Transfer Vehicle designed to revolutionize glycol handling operations with unmatched efficiency, precision, and sustainability.

In response to the increasing demands of airport and ground service operations, the GTV-5000
streamlines fluid transfer, reduces operational downtime, and advances environmental goals through smarter technology and robust engineering.

Key Advantages of the GTV-5000:

  • Efficiency & cost savings - Reduces turnaround times by taking the dispensing station directly to the deicer. The GTV-5000 empowers crews to work faster and smarter — minimizing downtime and cutting operational costs.
  • High-capacity fluid transport - A 5,425-gallon tank ensures extended operational range with fewer refills, ideal for high-traffic or remote deicing operations.
    Universal Compatibility - Engineered to integrate seamlessly with all commercial deicers, providing operational flexibility without the need for reconfiguration or new equipment.
  • Off-season utility - Beyond transfer operations, the GTV-5000 serves as a mobile storage unit during off-season months, maintenance, inspections, and fluid management.
  • Advanced monitoring - Onboard flowmeters deliver precise glycol dispensing data in real time – in support of exact billing, improved resource management, and operational accountability.
  • Supports sustainability - Optimized transfer processes and advanced monitoring reduce emissions, fluid waste, and  environmental impact — supporting ESG initiatives.

"During the demonstration period, customer feedback on the GTV-5000 was extremely positive," said — Mark Stevenson, chief engineer-R&D, Global Ground Support. "Citing its ease of use, time-saving capabilities, and seamless integration into their existing operation. The response confirmed that we’re delivering exactly what the industry needs — an innovative, impactful, and future-ready glycol transfer and management solution.”
