Explore our top-performing airport ground equipment, engineered to withstand the demanding requirements of global hub operations.
Within the highly regulated infrastructure of modern airport ground services, the aircraft pushback tractor is a cornerstone of ground operations. The CD-T150 Aircraft Push Back Tractor is engineered to meet the operational parameters required to maneuver narrow-to-medium-body commercial aircraft during critical gate departure phases. Representing the pinnacle of structural engineering and powertrain synchronization, this unit ensures reliable ground operations under diverse climate conditions.
By delivering high drawbar pull ratings, excellent maneuverability, and integrated redundancy systems, the CD-T150 provides airport operators and ground handling agents with a solid asset that mitigates the risk of gate delays and ramp accidents. Its heavy-duty steel ballast chassis provides the traction coefficient necessary to manage aircraft movements on wet, icy, or sloped aprons.
Modern fleet management requires GSE designed to specific parameters. The CD-T150 towing tractor offers customizable configurations, including diesel powertrains and eco-friendly electric drivetrains. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the core technical specifications that define the operational profile of the CD-T150:

As a leading exporter of heavy-duty airport ground support equipment, our state-of-the-art Chinese manufacturing facilities leverage raw material procurement, structural steel production, and advanced mechanical assembly clusters. These integrated supply chains offer several core advantages to global buyers:
We source structural steel from tier-one domestic mills, applying laser cutting, robotic welding, and ultrasonic testing to build stable vehicle chassis frames capable of enduring torsional stresses.
Our localized supply chain in major industrial hubs guarantees immediate access to critical hydraulics, electric motors, and control units, reducing manufacturing lead times by up to 35% compared to Western competitors.
Every CD-T150 is subjected to rigorous quality controls, including load testing, hydraulic pressure endurance runs, and digital diagnostics, satisfying international standards prior to containerization.
Procuring ground support equipment involves evaluating acquisition costs alongside long-term operating expenses. The CD-T150 is designed to lower TCO through targeted engineering interventions:
Engine bay compartments, hydraulic filters, and electrical terminal blocks are positioned for ground-level access, cutting down standard service times and reducing labor costs during routine fleet maintenance.
The CD-T150 uses standard hydraulic hoses, seals, O-rings, and filters. This limits the reliance on proprietary replacement parts and decreases inventory costs for airlines and airport ground service providers.
Integrated steel bumpers, side impact protection plates, and anti-corrosive powder coatings extend the operational life of the CD-T150 to over 15 years in typical ramp environments.
Our engineering division supports procurement departments with standard documentation during request-for-proposal (RFP) cycles:
Operating ground equipment requires adherence to international safety and quality standards. Our CD-T150 units are fully certified to meet the regulatory requirements of aviation authorities worldwide:
By maintaining certification standards, we support airport operators during safety audits and simplify integration with insurance frameworks. Additionally, our automated braking controls, emergency stop circuits, and cabin interlocks protect ground crews and commercial aircraft from ramp accidents.
Airports operate in diverse geographic and climatic zones. The CD-T150 is engineered to maintain reliability in extreme conditions:
Equipped with engine block heaters, hydraulic fluid heating jackets, fuel pre-heaters, and insulated double-glazed cabins, the CD-T150 starts and operates down to -40°C.
Featuring oversized heavy-duty radiators, high-volume engine cooling fans, and dust-resistant filtration units, the CD-T150 operates in ambient temperatures up to 50°C without derating power output.
Using turbocharged diesel engine configurations that adjust the air-fuel ratio based on barometric pressure sensors, the CD-T150 delivers consistent drawbar pull at elevations above 3,000 meters.
The ground support equipment market is evolving toward decarbonization, digitalization, and automation. The design architecture of our CD-T150 supports transition plans for major aviation hubs:
