Equipment Overview

The Houchin 690 is a diesel-driven aircraft ground power unit used to supply electrical power to parked aircraft for servicing, maintenance, and pre-flight operations. Houchin Aerospace GPUs are widely used across airports, FBOs, and MRO facilities internationally, and the platform has an established support and parts base. This unit is trailer mounted for towed positioning on the ramp, rated 100 SV, and weighs 2,670 kg.

The unit is offered non-operational and requires batteries. Whether batteries alone will restore the unit to service has not been established, and no representation is made that the unit will start, run, or deliver stable output once batteries are fitted. Buyers should assess the full repair scope by independent inspection. The hour meter reads 9,961 hours, which is moderate for a 2005-build GPU and lower than typically seen on units of this vintage, and general wear consistent with that age and usage should be expected. Sold as-is, where-is.
