Global Ground Support

Global Ground Support LLC, at 540 E. Old Highway 56 in Olathe, Kansas, describes itself as the world's second-largest aircraft deicer truck manufacturer, created when the Air T holding company (Nasdaq: AIRT) acquired Simon Deicer in the late 1990s; its 2026 Sourcewell release calls it "an Air T company", its Paragon release dates it to 1997, and it has held a USAF contract since 1999. Units are built in the United States to Buy America requirements, ISO 9001:2015, with customers in 43 countries across ground handlers, airlines, airports, armed forces and — since joining the Paragon Aviation Group network in August 2025 — FBOs.

The FBO unit is the G-1200 "Regional": 1,200 US gallons (1,000 Type I insulated + 200 anti-ice), 40 gpm Type I at 150 psi and 20 gpm anti-ice, fluid from 0 to 180 °F in under 15 minutes, a 32–37-ft working height (the page and the product PDF disagree) and 24.5-ft reach on a Ford F650 or Freightliner M2 106 with a Deutz auxiliary engine — "built to meet the needs of our FBO customers and commuter airlines", rated up to a 737 MAX 8. Above it sit the G-2200 "Ultimate" (1,900 + 300 gal, 47-ft or 58-ft XR working height, Air Plus! forced air, single-operator and Pro-Mix blend options), the 2,800-gal G-2875ER and the military GL-1800/GL-2875. Glycol recovery vehicles GRV-800 and GRV-2000 and the GTV-5000 transfer truck complete the line, with three-tier overhauls (Refresh / Renew / Revive), same-day parts shipping on 70% of orders, factory GSE Academy sessions and VR deicing simulators. No pricing, leasing or rental is published; the in-stock page lists G-1200 and G-2200 units ready to ship.
