Sahawatthanakit (1988) is a registered vendor with Thai Aviation Industries (TAI) as a distributor/representative, with its registered scope extended to Ground Support Equipment. Our role is sourcing and model selection for the operating unit — we are not a manufacturer and hold no exclusive representation for any GSE maker, which is precisely what lets us compare models across European, US and Asian manufacturers on the merits of the job. Scope covers 400 Hz frequency converters (50/60 Hz to 115/200 VAC 400 Hz), ground power units in both the combined 400 Hz plus 28 VDC configuration and the high-output 180 kVA class, and conventional tow tractors sized by the aircraft types to be moved. Every model we put forward is quoted from the manufacturer's own datasheet with the source named on the page, and referenced to standards that can be checked — MIL-STD-704, ISO 6858, ISO 1540, SAE ARP5015, EN 2282, and MIL-STD-461 where electromagnetic interference control is specified. Priced per project: tell us the aircraft types, the power required (400 Hz / 28 VDC) and how the equipment will be used, and we will return a quotation with a line-by-line specification comparison.

Standards & Certifications

Models are quoted from the manufacturers' own datasheets and referenced only to standards that can be checked — MIL-STD-704 (aircraft electric power characteristics), ISO 6858 (ground power supplied to aircraft), ISO 1540 (aircraft electrical system characteristics), SAE ARP5015 (400 Hz ground power performance), EN 2282 (aircraft power supply characteristics), and MIL-STD-461 (electromagnetic interference control) where specified. Diesel generator sets reference ISO 8528 and air compressors ISO 1217 / ISO 2151, matching the scope registered with Thai Aviation Industries (TAI). We source and select rather than manufacture, and hold no exclusive representation for any maker — specifications vary by sub-model and options, so the manufacturer's current datasheet always governs.

Before you order

A P/N is the reference part number given for the item in the source list. Specifications, compatibility with each aircraft type and the manufacturer's documents are confirmed by our team before every quotation. We source and select equipment — we are not the manufacturer. Pictures and brands shown are reference information for the item; the model and specification actually offered are confirmed in the quotation. For items without a picture or brand, ask for pictures and documents with the quotation.

Tell us the aircraft type, the items you need, quantities and delivery date. The sourcing team replies with a quotation and a line-by-line comparison table.

Common Questions

Before you send an RFQ

Q1.Which GSE manufacturer does Sahawatthanakit represent?+
None exclusively, and we do not manufacture. Our role is sourcing and model selection for the operating unit, which is exactly what allows us to compare models across European, US and Asian manufacturers on the merits of the job rather than on what we happen to stock. Sahawatthanakit (1988) is a registered vendor with Thai Aviation Industries (TAI) as a distributor/representative, with that scope extended to Ground Support Equipment.
Q2.How is a ground power unit matched to our aircraft?+
Three things decide it: whether the aircraft needs 400 Hz AC only or 28 VDC as well (single units supply both where required); the actual output and number of outlets needed, which is what moves a requirement up to the 180 kVA class for servicing several aircraft at once; and whether airport mains power is available, which calls for a frequency converter, or not, which calls for a diesel-engined unit. Send us the aircraft types and how the equipment will be used and we will return a line-by-line comparison.
Q3.How is a tow tractor sized?+
From the heaviest aircraft to be moved, read against two figures together: the tractor's own weight, which puts the tyres down onto the apron, and the drawbar pull the manufacturer declares. Conventional tow tractors come in a series of weight classes so the unit can be matched to the aircraft actually operated rather than over-bought. Tell us the aircraft types and we will select the class.
Q4.Where do the quoted specifications come from?+
From the manufacturers' own datasheets, with the source named on every page of the catalogue — measured values rather than marketing copy. The standards referenced are ones that can be checked: MIL-STD-704, ISO 6858, ISO 1540, SAE ARP5015, EN 2282, and MIL-STD-461 where interference control is specified. Specifications change by sub-model and option, so the manufacturer's current datasheet always governs; we can supply it in full.
Q5.What do you need in order to quote?+
The aircraft types to be supported; the power required — 400 Hz only or 28 VDC as well, and at what output; whether the unit should be towable, fixed or trailer-mounted; and the quantity and delivery timing. That is enough for us to shortlist the models that meet the requirement and return a line-by-line specification comparison.
Q6.What is 400 Hz aircraft power, and how does it differ from factory power?+
Aircraft electrical systems generally run on 115/200 VAC at 400 Hz (as defined in MIL-STD-704), where grid power in a Thai factory is 50 Hz. The higher frequency lets the equipment on the aircraft be smaller and lighter. On the ground, a frequency converter or ground power unit therefore converts 50/60 Hz supply to 400 Hz so the aircraft is powered without running its own engines or APU.
Q7.Which groups of GSE can Sahawatthanakit source?+
Five groups — 400 Hz frequency converters; AC/DC ground power units (400 Hz and 28 VDC); high-output 180 kVA ground power units; conventional tow tractors with towbar; and diesel generator sets and air compressors. We shortlist from several manufacturers' own datasheets rather than from one brand. Send the aircraft type and your requirement and you get a line-by-line specification comparison back.
Q8.What is the scope Sahawatthanakit is registered for with TAI?+
Sahawatthanakit (1988) is a registered vendor with Thai Aviation Industries (TAI) as a distributor/representative, and the scope extends to aviation ground support equipment including diesel generator sets and air compressors (referencing ISO 8528 and ISO 1217 / ISO 2151). We act as sourcing and model selection — we are neither a manufacturer nor the exclusive agent of any manufacturer.
