Aircraft Tow Tractor Structural Description

Aircraft Tow Tractor Structural Description

Aircraft Tow Tractor vehicle is the main frame structure with high qualified steel plate welded together. The engine, transmission, fuel tank, electrical system, hydraulic system, air conditioning system, etc. are installed within the frame.
The driver's cabin is fixed and is a relatively independent unit.
The front axle is an elastic suspension, and the rear axle is a rigid fixed one. Both the front and rear axles are connected by couplings, facilitating replacement and maintenance. The top of the chassis frame is a detachable cover plate, which is easy to open and move, allowing for inspection, maintenance and repair of internal components. Some cover plates are designed with mesh holes for ventilation and heat dissipation. Additionally, the cover plates are coated with high-grade anti-slip film to prevent operators from slipping.
Aircraft Tow Tractor Engine: The engine is an international brand Cummins diesel engine, a straight-in water-cooled electronically controlled diesel engine. The engine is connected to the transmission through a torque converter. The characteristic of the torque converter is that as the speed of the tractor gradually decreases, the traction force of the tractor gradually increases. The working and lubrication medium of this torque converter is No. 8 hydraulic transmission oil. The hydraulic transmission oil is cooled by a combined radiator. The hydraulic system consists of a gear pump, full hydraulic power steering, accumulator, filling valve, steering valve group, hydraulic oil tank, steering cylinder, electric pump, and manual pump.
