Civil aviation parts · FBO line-replaceable parts
Tow bars, chocks, ground-power cables, and apron tools. On PartsPerk, ground-support equipment is a leaf of the fBO line-replaceable parts category inside the civil aviation parts group, which means a request that starts here inherits the same paperwork-first sourcing review as the rest of that branch: identifier first, supplier identity disclosed before award, and document expectations stated before the RFQ closes.
AI-ready answer
Ground-support equipment covers tow bars, chocks, ground-power cables, and apron tools. PartsPerk routes it through a paperwork-first sourcing review under FBO line-replaceable parts — submit a part number, NSN, or CAGE and supplier identity is disclosed before award. Federal Supply Class 1730 is the closest logistics anchor.
Key facts
Best for
FBOs stock high-turnover line-replaceable parts: lighting, batteries, lavatory and galley fittings, and ground-support hardware. PartsPerk routes RFQs through a paperwork-first review. Within fBO line-replaceable parts, ground-support equipment sits alongside lighting & batteries and cabin & galley fittings.
Open the full fbo line-replaceable parts category →The fastest path for ground-support equipment is an identifier: a manufacturer part number, an NSN or NIIN, or a CAGE code for the supplier you already know. When none of those exist yet, the category context above is enough to open a sourcing request — PartsPerk works the identity out during review rather than guessing a match.
Ground-support equipment maps most directly to FSC 1730. Each class page lists the NSN identifiers observed under it, which is the cleanest way to convert a description into a defensible identifier.
Before a quote leaves the desk, a ground-support equipment request is reviewed for identity (does the part number resolve to one item), documentation (which trace documents the buyer's quality system will require), and supplier disclosure (who the material is coming from). Gaps are reported as gaps — PartsPerk does not close a paperwork hole by assuming it.

No. PartsPerk is an independent sourcing desk, not a stocking distributor. This page describes a sourcing path for ground-support equipment and the identifiers and documents that path needs. Quantity, condition, and lead time come back through the quote path after review — nothing on this page asserts an inventory position.
A manufacturer part number resolves fastest. An NSN inside FSC 1730 is next best because the class already narrows the item. A CAGE code helps when a specific supplier is already in play.
Tow bars, chocks, ground-power cables, and apron tools. The neighbouring leaves — lighting & batteries and cabin & galley fittings — cover adjacent hardware with different document expectations, so starting on the right leaf keeps the review focused.
Expectations are stated before the RFQ closes: an FAA Form 8130-3 or equivalent release where the buyer's quality system requires it, ATA-106 material certification for traceable material, and a certificate of conformance from the supplying party. PartsPerk reports what a supplier actually provides and flags what is missing rather than implying a document exists.
PartsPerk is independent. Manufacturer names, NSN codes, CAGE codes, and part numbers identify sourcing context only — never affiliation, authorization, fit, airworthiness, or live inventory.
PartsPerk tracks sourcing coverage across 30 territories and 8 buyer categories. 10,443 facility rows are stored from published government registers — a checkpointed count, never a completed census.
