A certain type of aircraft towing rod is a device used to connect the aircraft and the tractor. The aircraft is pushed away or towed to the designated location through the towing rod.
A certain type of aircraft towing rod is a device used to connect the aircraft and the tractor. The aircraft is pushed away or towed to the designated location through the towing rod. It is an important part of the ground operation support equipment of modern airports.
1.Main frame: The main structure of the towing rod, which bears the force during pushing and pulling, is made of high-quality seamless steel pipe or high-strength aluminum pipe.
2.Connection mechanism: The towing head uses pins or clamps to connect the front landing gear of the aircraft and has a locking function.
3.Towing vehicle connector: The towing vehicle part is connected in the form of a towing ring and is equipped with a buffer device.
4.Control system: The height of the towing rod is controlled by a hydraulic pump/mechanical screw, which is convenient for docking and reduces the work intensity.
5.Wheel system components: With walking wheels, the towing and dragging deployment is flexible.
6.Safety lock: Ensure that there is no accidental detachment during the towing process, and it can be disconnected urgently in the case of overload to avoid damage.
The aircraft and the tractor are connected by a tow bar, and the tractor transmits power to the front landing gear of the aircraft through the tow bar to control the moving direction and speed of the aircraft and ensure that the aircraft moves along the predetermined path.
Pre-inspection: The towing rod has no deformation or cracks, and the hydraulic system has no leakage
Connect the aircraft end: Connect the aircraft landing gear towing head to the towing rod by adjusting the lifting height, and lock it
Connect the tractor: Connect the tractor hook to the towing rod and lock it; lower the running wheel
Towing the aircraft: Start the tractor, drive slowly, and tow the aircraft along the route
Regular inspection: Check whether the towing rod has cracks and deformation; whether the shear pin and connector function normally; whether the hydraulic pump function is normal
Environmental restrictions: Suspend operations when the road surface is icy or visibility is low
Storage: Avoid humid environments and do a good job of rust and corrosion protection
