3.0 – Specification
3.1 General
The AGSE-E237-G01 Transport Stand.(Cradle/Base Assembly) is designed to store and/or trans-
port the General Electric Passport 20 full engine in modified QEC configuration. The cradle can
be separated from the base for engine storage. The engine can be installed on the stand from either
left or right side and pins into place quickly and easily.
3.2 Design
The AGSE-E23704-S01 cradle consists of a steel welded frame with removable ground handling
mounts compatible with General Electric Passport 20 engine in modified QEC configuration.
Tubular arms support engine mount adapters. Caster assemblies can be stowed to attain the
overall minimum height for air transport. Storage for unused AFT braces is provided on the
cradle frame. Storage for AFT posts, caster steering bars, tow bars is provided on the base. A
series of tie-down rings offer secure retainment during transportation of unit. Built-in shock
absorbing mounts cushion all transport shocks and vibrations. 5-1/2” x 13-1/2” fork channels are
provided to allow forklifting of the stand.
The AGSE-E23701-S01 base consists of a steel welded frame which supports the AGSE-
E23704-S01 cradle on a shock-absorbing frame. The base frame is also equipped with FWD and
AFT bumpers which can be retracted for storage.
3.3 Mobility
The AGSE-E23701-S01 base assembly has four (4) shock absorbing casters, bumpers and tow
bars. The stand cradle and base can be towed from either end. The FWD tow bars (2) attach to
the base for FWD towing and a single AFT tow bar attaches to the AFT bumper support for rear
towing. The tow bars stow on the base frame when not in use. Maximum towing speed of the unit
is 5 km/hr (3 MPH).
Failure to unlock the lead casters (tow bar end) during towing of the unit will
result in flat spots being worn into the caster tread.
If unit is to be transported by truck and trailer, it is “MANDATORY” that both
the truck and trailer be equipped with “air-ride” type suspension. The stand
must never be tied down to the truck bed above the shock mounts height.

4.0 – Maintenance and Inspection
4.1 General
Life expectancy of this unit can be extended indefinitely, if it is properly maintained. By design,
there is only minimal periodic servicing required. Annual inspections for damage, weld cracks, or
corrosion are recommended. Prior to each use, the stand should be inspected for obvious signs of
abuse or shipping damage. Observed damage should require complete inspection of the affected
area to ensure stand integrity is not compromised.
4.2 Cleaning and Painting
The stand should be cleaned with a soap and water solution and rinsed thoroughly.
Re-lubricate all grease zerk fittings after cleaning stand.
Damaged paint should be touched-up with paint provided by AGSE or other Skydrol resistant
high-grade enamel paint. Superficial scratches are expected during normal usage and will not
affect function.
4.3 Scheduled Service
All casters should be lubricated every 90 days with the following extreme pressure grease or
equivalent grease:
Visual inspection of the swivel locks and brakes should occur with the scheduled lubrication. All
non-painted machined surfaces should have a light grade oil spray as required. Spray with aerosol
lubrication WD-40 or equivalent.
