Explore our premium lineup of high-efficiency airport ground servicing assets manufactured to international standards.
In modern aviation, ramp efficiency, fast turnaround times, and strict ground handling safety protocols dictate the profitability of commercial airlines. At the center of these pushback operations is the CD-T150 Aircraft Push Back Tractor. Designed to handle regional jets, narrowbody aircraft, and select medium-body flights (such as the Boeing 737 series, Airbus A320 family, and corporate business jets), the CD-T150 has transitioned from a standard ground support utility to an engineered centerpiece of safety-critical ramp maneuvers.
Worldwide demand for compact yet heavy-duty aircraft towing tractors has risen exponentially. This growth is fueled by the expansion of regional hubs, the resurgence of secondary cargo lanes, and the integration of Tier-4/EU Stage V diesel engines and high-torque electric powertrains. Industry operators demand GSE that minimizes the risk of structural landing gear damage while maximizing drawbar pull under adverse climatic conditions, such as ice, rain, and extreme tropical heat.
The commercial viability of the CD-T150 lies in its configuration versatility. Ground handling companies require units that can operate continuously in 24/7 cycles. The engineering framework of the CD-T150 focuses on optimized weight distribution, enabling high tractive effort without requiring a bloated, oversized footprint. This makes it highly maneuverable within crowded gate configurations and narrow taxiways.
To ensure operational safety during aircraft towing, engineers must precisely match the tractor’s capabilities to the pushback operations. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the typical CD-T150 configuration specifications:
| Technical Parameter | Operational Specifications (Metric / Imperial) | Component details & Standards |
|---|---|---|
| Target Aircraft Fleet | Boeing 737 / Airbus A320 / Regional Jets / Corporate Jets | Maximum Ramp Weight handling up to 150 Tons |
| Drawbar Pull (DBP) | 110 kN to 155 kN (Dependant on ballast configuration) | Triple-stage hydrostatic converter transmission |
| Engine Powerhouse | Cummins / Deutz turbocharged diesel (Optional Electric power) | Meets Tier 3 / Tier 4f / Stage V emissions regulations |
| Hydraulic System | Closed-loop feedback control with emergency backup pumps | SAE standard high-pressure couplings, leak-free manifolds |
| Steering Modes | 2-Wheel, 4-Wheel Coordinated, and Crab Steering | Fully hydraulic, micro-processor guided coordinates |
| Chassis Structure | Heavy-Duty integrated steel plate chassis | FEA tested structural integrity against shear stress |
The hydrostatic drive system provides infinitely variable speed adjustments, ensuring smooth acceleration from a complete stop. This prevents jerking on the nose landing gear (NLG) of the aircraft, which is a major source of fatigue stress on commercial passenger aircraft. Additionally, the integrated failsafe braking system ensures instant static locking if hydraulic pressure drops below critical limits.
In accordance with technical classifications, we supply a versatile array of aviation ground service machinery designed for continuous operation.
The aircraft tank refueling truck line consists of a heavy-duty chassis and double-welded oil tanks, an advanced high-flow pumping system, a digital control console, and a safe operating platform. Functions include high-efficiency filtration, fuel metering, high-flow refueling, reverse suction pumping, self-circulation, and multi-point pressure control.
We manufacture a broad selection of heavy-duty ground cargo equipment, including the Slave Pallet Dolly, Pallet Dolly, 7T Castle Pallet Dolly, New LD3 Container Dolly, Heavy-Duty Container Dolly, and the LD6 Container Dolly. Engineered with specialized rolling casters and multi-directional lock configurations for swift cargo movements.
Our lineup features heavy-duty Cargo Loaders including the CDL14000, CDL35000, and CDL7000 models, capable of processing dual-deck freighters. Passenger transition is streamlined through our self-propelled and towable passenger boarding stairs (CD-PBS5062E, CD-PBS5062D, and CD-PS580), maintaining strict safety guidelines.
We deliver critical environmental and pneumatic control units, including Truck Mounted Air Start Units, CDA300, and CDA400 Air Start Units. Power generation is covered by our Energy Storage Ground Power Units, 90KVA Aircraft Ground Power systems, and Static Ground Power converters. Pre-conditioned air is managed by the Aircraft Heating Unit CDH-60, PCA Unit CD190, and CD-H02 Cabin Heater.
As global aviation seeks optimized cost structures without compromising safety, sourcing GSE from specialized Chinese factories has become a leading strategy. The modern manufacturing capability of a Chinese factory like ours rests on three pillars: Industrial Supply Chain Integration, Advanced Automation, and Rigorous International Standards Compliance.
We deploy robotic gas metal arc welding (GMAW) stations to fabricate the main structural frames of the CD-T150. This guarantees deep weld penetration, eliminating potential points of failure under extreme dynamic loads.
Every pushback vehicle undergoes rigorous quality control, including ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) on structural welds, dynamometer pull testing, and electronic system telemetry calibration before delivery.
By leveraging close proximity to premier metal casting, hydraulic component manufacturing, and electronic systems clusters, we significantly reduce turnaround lead times for custom customer orders.
Ground support equipment must perform reliably across diverse operational environments. The CD-T150 is engineered to adapt to distinct localized application scenarios:
We welcome custom OEM and ODM orders tailored to specific global parameters. From initial product planning, structural engineering, and automated production to safety compliance testing, our end-to-end integration helps customers minimize capital overhead while boosting fleet compatibility.
We distribute specialized ground support equipment globally. Our service coverage supports commercial airlines, cargo operators, military logistics command centers, and independent ground handling service providers with guaranteed prompt deliveries and long-term MRO parts availability.
