Medium Electric Pushback Tractor

The TK-EQY280 is a medium-sized, fully electric aircraft pushback tractor designed for pushback and towing of regional, narrow-body and selected wide-body aircraft up to 352 tons MTOW.

Its compact footprint and 1,670 mm overall height support operation beneath large aircraft. A four-wheel-drive powertrain with dedicated low-speed traction gear, multi-mode all-wheel steering with automatic straightening, and a hydraulically elevating cab with anti-collision protection provide stable high-traction towing, precise low-speed control and clear all-round visibility during aircraft handling.

Features

High-Traction Drive System
Dual permanent-magnet drive motors, a two-speed transfer case and dedicated low-speed traction gear deliver 240 kN of controlled drawbar pull for stable, high-capacity aircraft pushback and towing.

Full-Electric Drive System
A 268.7 kWh CATL LFP battery and IP68 motors provide zero-emission apron operation with high energy efficiency and a 160 km range.

Multi-Mode Steering & Auto-Straightening
Electronically selectable front-wheel, four-wheel and crab steering, combined with an automatic alignment correction system ensures straight-line tracking after turns. 

Precision Low-Speed Control
A minimum stable speed of 0.16 km/h and speed accuracy of ±0.1 km/h allow safe, gentle engagement with aircraft without shock loads.

Elevating Cab with Anti-Collision Protection
The 700 mm lift cab, dual slide-rail balancing system and roof anti-collision sensor deliver commanding 360° visibility and automatic reverse-lower protection near aircraft.

Safety Redundancy & Interlocks
Dual-circuit hydraulic brakes, electric/manual emergency pumps, emergency stop and drive-by-wire interlock logic prevent unintended movement.

Fast Charging & High Availability
Dual-gun DC fast charging reaches full capacity in under two hours; the 160 km range exceeds typical daily ramp cycles without intermediate charging.

Compact Low-Profile Chassis
With an overall height of 1,670 mm and a turning diameter of 7,300 mm, the tractor operates freely under large aircraft and in space-constrained apron zones.

Aircraft Compatibility

Designed for pushback and towing operations involving regional, narrow-body and selected wide-body aircraft up to 352 t MTOW.

Representative models include Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321, A300/A310 and A330/A340; Boeing 727, 737 Classic/NG, 757, 767 and selected 777/787 variants; and MD-80/MD-90, MD-11, ERJ-145, E170/E190, Fokker 50/100, ARJ21 and MA60 aircraft within the stated MTOW range.
