Coolspool Portable GPU

The Powervamp Coolspool range enables the powering of aircraft systems that previously could only be activated with the generator on line. Pre-flighting and cycling of systems where aircraft are configured for rapid deployment with role equipment already on line — these are examples where the higher Coolspool voltage can prevent the appearance of undesirable/spurious EFIS messages on start up. Connecting any 110/220 volt power cord into the GPU will automatically activate the integral three-stage charger.

Gimbal-Grabber

Previously referred to as the GIRD, All Metal’s newly redesigned gimbal-grabber is now equipped with an opening “halo” ring that allows for use on all camera models wherever it is located or positioned on the aircraft. This design increases the safety of the camera unit while minimizing a mechanic’s workload. The steel constructed apparatus is intentionally configured so that one mechanic can safely perform an install or removal of any gimbal that attaches to an aircraft and never handle it with their bare hands. It comes with a lifting jack and a rotational ride plate. Its tilt down push handle with X/Y tilt capability and 360-degree rotating pump handle ensures ease while handling the expensive and fragile gimbal.
