Olathe, Kansas – May 1, 2025 – Global Ground Support, a leading provider of aircraft ground support
equipment, proudly announces the launch of the GTV-5000 — a groundbreaking 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:

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. Citing
its ease of use, time-saving capabilities, and seamless integration into their existing operation. The
