Ground Support Equipment from Vestergaard Company is developed from a unique principle. We call it less is more.

Briefly, it means that you get more efficiency, spending less time and money, when you choose an aircraft service unit from Vestergaard.

• Less glycol consumption is more economy

Instant and precise mix of water and glycol based on outside temperature and conditions ensure the least possible amount of glycol used.

• Less diesel consumption is more

environmentally friendly.

• Highly developed, fine tuned and integrated machinery creates more efficiency when de-icing.

• Less downtime is more uptime. The Vestergaard units spent less time on being repaired and more time on doing the job they are meant for.

• Less operating expense means better budgeting. The final price for a de-icer unit will always be the price per effective working hour through the entire lifetime of the unit.
