Engineered to maximize ramp utility and cargo processing speed under strict regulatory standards.
The global aviation sector is undergoing a structural transition toward zero-emission ground operations. Tow-in trucks and aircraft towing tractors represent a critical node in this decarbonization process. Environmental directives, such as the EU's Green Deal and the FAA's Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) program, are driving airfields to mandate the retirement of internal combustion engine (ICE) ground support fleets.
Modern electric Ground Support Equipment (eGSE) is replacing diesel propulsion systems with lithium-ion power plants. These systems feature high-voltage architectures (up to 800V) that allow fast charging cycles during scheduled aircraft ground time. Our electric catering trucks, battery-powered passenger boarding stairs, and electric baggage towing tractors utilize integrated Battery Management Systems (BMS) with thermal regulation. This ensures reliable operation in cold climates down to -25°C and hot tarmac environments up to +55°C.
How we design, test, and deliver heavy-duty aviation towing machinery globally.
Our product design and manufacturing utilize FEA (Finite Element Analysis) stress-testing to optimize mechanical durability. We implement dual-chassis reinforcement structures on high-tonnage dollies and aircraft tractors.
We source heavy-gauge structural steel (Q355B or higher) and internationally certified hydraulic systems to ensure our tow trucks, catering units, and passenger stairs withstand sustained mechanical stress.
Our supply chain integrates direct global shipping, complete customs clearances, and secure break-bulk loading for oversized industrial ground handling equipment, ensuring fast turnaround times.
We supply complete spare parts catalogs, on-site commission training, and remote diagnostic services. Our field service technicians resolve system errors to keep your aircraft ground operations running.
In B2B ground support equipment procurement, calculating required Drawbar Pull (DBP) is primary. DBP is the horizontal towing force exerted by a towing tractor on a cargo payload or an aircraft, overcoming rolling resistance, wind force, and ramp gradients. To calculate correct DBP, we utilize the following equation:
DBP = (W_aircraft + W_tractor) × (RR + GR) + WR
Where: W = Weight (kg), RR = Rolling Resistance coefficient, GR = Maximum Ramp Gradient (%), WR = Wind Resistance.
Our heavy-duty aircraft towing tractors (CDT700, CDT450, CDT300) are engineered to deliver up to 500 kN of tractive force, supporting wide-body pushbacks. Similarly, the aircraft tank refueling trucks (CD5207GJJ, CD5580GJJ, CD5341GJJ) integrate JIG compliance, secondary metering systems, and electronic pressure sensors to maintain flow safety during dynamic pressure spikes.

Our operation designs equipment to support the ramp lifecycle. We support airlines, ground handlers, and logistics companies with a broad GSE inventory that ensures fast aircraft turnarounds.
Aviation ground support equipment operates under strict safety protocols. Every tow-in truck, tow tractor, and cargo loader we manufacture complies with international safety standards, including IATA Airport Handling Manual (AHM) guidelines, CE machinery directives, and ISO quality management systems.
To support global supply chains, our factory offers customized configuration packages for localized environments. For airports in Northern Europe and Canada, we install winterization packs with engine pre-heaters, insulated battery cabinets, and cabin HVAC units. For airports in desert regions, we integrate heavy-duty dust filters and high-capacity hydraulic coolers to prevent system overheating.
Our long-term development focuses on automation. Our technology team is developing driverless navigation systems for cargo dollies and baggage towing tractors. Utilizing LiDAR, radar array sensors, and RTK GPS positioning, these systems automate movement between sorting terminals and parking gates. This increases turnaround times, prevents gate damage, and reduces operational overhead.
