Explore our heavy-duty aviation cargo dolly systems designed to increase airport ramp throughput, maintain strict cargo safety standards, and resist demanding physical environments.
In contemporary commercial aviation, precision ramp maneuvers, minimum turn-around-times (TAT), and robust ground safety standards represent key drivers of profitability and risk mitigation. At the nexus of these operational targets stands the CD-T150 Aircraft Pushback Tractor. As a critical piece of Ground Support Equipment (GSE), the CD-T150 is specifically engineered to handle regional and narrowbody commercial jets, as well as selected medium-haul passenger and cargo aircraft.
This whitepaper outlines the structural parameters, drivetrain technologies, environmental and safety compliance, and commercial market trends defining the procurement and manufacture of custom CD-T150 class pushbacks today.
Aircraft with a Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of up to 150 tonnes require precise tractive effort. The CD-T150 pushback delivers high drawbar pull without compromising structural compact design, ensuring high compatibility with narrow gate parking setups and congested taxiway conditions.
The global ground handling industry is transitioning toward high-efficiency, multi-capable GSE fleets. Key drivers such as the growth of low-cost carriers (LCCs) utilizing standardized narrowbody fleets (e.g., Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 platforms) have created a massive global demand for specialized 150-ton class pushback tractors.
Furthermore, the introduction of regional jets like the Embraer E2 series and the COMAC C919 has intensified the demand for versatile towbar and towbarless tractors. North American, European, and Asia-Pacific hubs are modernizing ground infrastructure to support carbon reduction goals. As a result, global GSE suppliers must offer customized powertrain options for CD-T150 units, ranging from Stage V diesel engines to high-voltage lithium battery power arrays.
To ensure peak reliability during high-frequency gate operations, the custom CD-T150 incorporates a modular heavy-duty steel chassis coupled with a specialized hydraulic system. Below are the typical technical parameters engineered for the CD-T150 series:
| Parameter Specification | Metric Metric Standard | US Imperial Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Towing Capacity (MTOW) | 150,000 kg | 330,693 lbs |
| Drawbar Pull (Maximum) | 110 kN – 120 kN | 24,728 lbf – 26,977 lbf |
| Overall Dimensions (L x W x H) | 6,200 x 2,300 x 1,600 mm | 244 x 90.5 x 63 inches |
| Service Weight (including ballasts) | 14,000 to 18,000 kg | 30,864 to 39,683 lbs |
| Steering System Modes | Front-wheel steering, Rear-wheel steering, Crab steering, Coordinated 4-Wheel steering | |
| Power Options | Deutz / Cummins Tier 4F/Stage V Diesel OR Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery Pack | |
