Industry 04 / 11 · Airports & Ports
Power on the apron. Power at the berth.
Mobile high-output energy for ground support equipment, quayside machinery and electric vessels, wherever fixed shore power or apron chargers don’t reach.
- 1 MWMCS-ready charging architecture
- Towedinto position in minutes
- No trenchingacross live aprons and berths
Overview
Airside and quayside, every cable trench is a closure.
Ground support equipment and port machinery are electrifying quickly, but digging up a live apron or berth for fixed chargers is costly and disruptive, and demand moves with stand allocation and vessel schedules.
EMS mobile storage goes where the equipment is. Tow an iTrailer to the stand or position an iMContainer at the berth, charge from the terminal supply off-peak, and deliver high-power charging exactly where it is needed.
-
01Fixed chargers in the wrong place as stand use changes
Mobile units repositioned to follow the schedule
-
02Trenching across live aprons and berths
No civil works; units are towed or craned into position
-
03Diesel ground power units on stand
Zero-emission power for GSE and aircraft support
-
04Limited terminal capacity for new loads
Batteries charge off-peak and discharge at high power on demand
EMS Energy Intelligence
Storage that thinks ahead.
Smart energy management that learns how your airports & ports site uses power and plans every kilowatt ahead of the peak.
- Load forecasting
- Smart dispatch
- Predictive health
- Fleet-wide visibility
- Morning bank 06:00–08:00: 14 departures. Unit 2 dispatched to stands 31–34.
- Terminal supply peak avoided by discharging 380 kWh during the bank.
Applications
Where EMS works in airports & ports.
Delivers mobile high-output power to aircraft Ground Support Equipment (GSE), heavy harbour container cranes, and electric marine vessels wherever fixed shore power is unavailable.

FAQ
Questions from airports & ports teams.
Can’t see your question? Our engineers answer within one working day.
Can units operate airside?
Yes. iTrailer is designed to be towed into position and is regularly specified for apron use. We work with your airside operations team on positioning and towing procedures.
Can it charge electric vessels?
Containerised units provide high-power DC suitable for electric harbour craft and ferries, with multi-gun and MCS-ready configurations.
How is it recharged?
From the terminal or port supply during quieter periods, or from a fixed station. The battery then delivers high power during operational peaks.
Does it replace diesel ground power?
For many GSE charging and ground power tasks, yes, which removes local emissions and noise on stand.
