GroundSupportEquipment (GSE) services aircraft at commercial airports and air force bases in between flights and during scheduled maintenance. They are also used to perform other tasks around the runway and taxi areas. SAE AIR4286 puts forth policies, procedures and practices required to maintain mobile and fixed ground support equipment at airport passenger and cargo terminals. While ISO 6966 specifies the safety requirements to be considered by manufacturers for the design of aircraft, ground support equipment and military GSE is governed by a variety of GSA Schedules. 

Thanks to electronic controls and sensors, hydraulics now operates with enhanced efficiency, resulting in improved performance and energy savings. By incorporating electronic controls, hydraulic systems can be monitored, allowing for pre-programmed, automated adjustments in flow and pressure to optimize performance, based on specific application requirements. This electro-hydraulic integration proves highly beneficial in industrial settings where precision is paramount.
