In the second installment of "The GSE Podcast", hosted by Matt Weitzel from Xcēd GSE, we delve into the world of electric Ground Support Equipment (GSE) with guest Rob Lamb, VP of Sales & Marketing at Charlatte America.
With its electric bag tractors and belt loaders, Charlatte America stands at the forefront of electric GSE production in the United States. This episode shines a light on the journey of Charlatte America and its pursuit of electric innovation in the GSE space, particularly focusing on their groundbreaking new electric cargo tractor with an incredible 60,000 lbs pull capacity.
This candid conversation between Matt and Rob takes listeners down memory lane to their initial encounter at Memphis back in 2008. Despite being competitors at the time, working for different manufacturers, they formed a lasting friendship, a testament to the bonds and camaraderie within the GSE industry.
The term "Bulletproof", which lends this episode its title, signifies Charlatte America's enduring commitment to robust engineering and innovation, personified by their proprietary axle design. This conversation goes beyond just technology and product design, to delve into how Rob's fluency in Spanish has proven instrumental in the GSE sales world, showcasing the importance of diversity and skills beyond the technical realm in this industry.
Listeners are also given a preview of the forthcoming launch of Charlatte's new electric cargo tractor at the GSE Expo in Las Vegas.
