Ground Power and Engine Starting Units for Piper Aircraft
If you’re looking for reliable maintenance power suppliers or engine starting units for your Piper aircraft you’ve come to the right place.
The Piper Aircraft Corporation, which began in 1927 as the Taylor Brothers Aircraft Manufacturing Company, was officially founded in 1937 when William T. Piper purchased the company. The Piper aircraft range from trainers to personal and business aircraft. Because each Piper model has different voltage requirements for avionics and engine starting, selecting the appropriate mobile ground power unit, portable jump start battery, or maintenance power supply is critical to avoid damage to your aircraft’s expensive electronic equipment.
We stock a wide range of small and high-capacity engine starting and ground power solutions, including handheld lithium-powered aircraft engine starters for single aircraft, through to self-driven emissions-free ground power units with the capacity to power multiple aircraft at busy airports and MROs.
Benefits of Mobile Ground Power Units
Mobile ground power units have many benefits over traditional fixed-base ground power units. Mobile ground power units are less expensive to run and produce less pollution. They can be put into operation quickly and easily and may be utilized for a variety of purposes, as well as in a range of environments. The portability of mobile starting units means that they are perfect for remote airfields or larger business airports where grid-tied ground power is not viable.
Mobile and Handheld Starting Units for Piper Aircraft
Starting units are used to provide high amperage power to the aircraft’s electric starting motor to turn over the engine and establish ignition. Starting units are voltage specific, so using one that is not designed specifically for your Piper model of aircraft can cause damage to the ignition and starter motor. A starting unit must provide power with enough cold cranking amps and at the correct voltage to enable the starter motor to turn over the aircraft engine at the correct RPM to initiate ignition. Using our mobile starting units will ensure consistent cold starts with minimal stress on the engine and components.
Mobile Maintenance Power for Piper Aircraft
To provide a voltage that is appropriate for your Piper aircraft, you’ll need the right mobile maintenance ground power unit, just as you would with starting units. It’s critical to get this right since avionics can be damaged if the incorrect voltage is used when powering up an aircraft. Voltage ranges for Piper aircraft, as well as small jets, helicopters, and single-piston or turbine aircraft differ; in some cases, they range from 12 volts to 29 volts. The voltage requirement of an individual aircraft model may vary considerably too. We offer a wide selection of mobile ground power solutions so you can choose the right equipment to support your Piper aircraft.
