Excellent power cart. Very clean DC output and stable voltage under load. Only disappointment is something better needed for winding up output cord. A side mounted rack would work much better to store the output cable assy.

Ours did not come with the top cable cage, which would have been nice to keep the input cable from falling off the top of the unit. Over all the unit works as expected. This is the second large end item we have purchased from CGSE, and my experience there will be more.

Great GPU, was exactly as described. I really like the controls on this units also. We use this on a Phenom 300 and have no issue with the proper voltage. It has very easy adjustments.

I have use many different types/sizes of GPU and this unit by far is the best. Our Line Services Department is growing and the new hires are very easily trained on proper use. We did not buy it with the top rack and that is the only option I wish we had purchased.

We are very happy with the unit. Our clients are also very impressed with it. It is being used in the hanger and also on the ramp very effectively.

Great for running A/C in hangar. Well made and supported. Front display provides tons of info. Cables wrap on handle making it easy to move. Using with Citation in private hangar.
