Inspect each piece of equipment before first use each shift. Do not operate any GSE with safety-critical defects. Tag defective equipment out of service immediately.
A daily pre-use inspection checklist for ground handling staff and GSE maintenance technicians checking ground support equipment before ramp operations. Covers the common inspection points across GSE types — tow tractors, belt loaders, baggage carts, ground power units, air start units, de-icing vehicles, and fuel trucks — focusing on safety systems, fluid levels, tire condition, and operational readiness.
GSE operates in close proximity to aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars and in an environment with jet blast, propeller wash, and limited visibility. A failed brake on a tow tractor, a leaking fuel bowser, or an inoperative safety switch on a belt loader creates immediate risk to aircraft, cargo, and personnel on the ramp.
