Equipment Financing & Leasing in North America
Ground Power Unit (GPU) Financing and Leasing
Explore Ground Power Unit (GPU) financing and leasing for external aircraft ground-power supply. Mehmi Financial Group reviews requests in Canada and eligible U.S. markets, subject to the asset, business location and lender criteria.
Define the equipment and working configuration
Ask the seller to identify output type, electrical ratings, aircraft connections, cable assemblies, mobility and diesel, battery or fixed-power configuration.
Decisions to settle before ordering
- Have the supplier confirm compatibility with the aircraft and servicing task. Do not assume a unit with the right connector provides the required output or protection.
- List cables, reels, towing gear, charger and site electrical work separately. Ask how the unit will be tested and commissioned at your location.
Budget for acquisition and use
Price cables, installation or charger, fuel or electricity, servicing and any temporary power needed during changeover. Separate the equipment amount from installation, consumables and ongoing services so the requested finance amount is clear.
Compare the total payments, upfront contribution, fees and final purchase or return obligation. Match the proposed term to the expected ownership period and documented maintenance exposure; a lease may also impose use, maintenance and return conditions.
Oshkosh AeroTech ground-support training resources: Oshkosh AeroTech lists separate training for tractors, deicers, belt loaders and boarding stairs. Ask for training and manuals matched to the actual ground-support asset.

Ground Power Unit (GPU) equipment financing market context
Quick answer: Ground Power Unit (GPU) financing is generally reviewed using the purchase price, exact configuration, age and time-in-service where relevant, maintenance and inspection status, seller, expected useful life, business cash flow, credit profile and requested term. New and used aviation assets may be considered, but final structure depends on the specific asset, transaction, lender and jurisdiction.
In ELFA’s 2025 Survey of Equipment Finance Activity, corporate aircraft represented 2.7% of 2024 annual new business volume by equipment type among respondents. That figure is a broad aviation-finance benchmark and does not imply every aircraft, engine or ground-support asset fits the same credit profile. See the ELFA Survey of Equipment Finance Activity for the underlying U.S. industry data.
ELFA’s July 2026 CapEx Finance Index reported $14.3 billion in seasonally adjusted new business volume among surveyed member companies, with year-to-date volume 16.8% above the same period in 2025. In Canada, Statistics Canada reported 2026 machinery and equipment capital-spending intentions of about C$127.2 billion. Review the July 2026 CapEx Finance Index and Statistics Canada’s 2026 capital expenditure release.

Financing questions
Can a used ground-power unit be reviewed without a recent output test?
Ask for a documented condition assessment and suitable output testing before committing. Nameplate information identifies the design; it does not prove the used unit delivers acceptable power today. Inspection or valuation requirements depend on the transaction.
What evidence matters for a used purchase?
Request load-test results, cable and connector condition, output controls, engine or battery condition and service history. Ask the lender whether an independent inspection or valuation is required; condition and seller evidence should be resolved before a non-refundable commitment.
Can the seller be paid before delivery or installation?
Deposits and staged payments require specific review. Provide the supplier’s payment schedule, delivery terms and acceptance milestones before committing. Funding depends on completed lender conditions; an approval does not automatically release money for an undelivered or unfinished project.
