Weihai Guangtai Airport Equipment Co Ltd in East China's Shandong province is a specialized vehicle manufacturing enterprise that can provide all airport ground equipment at once.

In recent years, the company has been committed to promoting technological innovation and has localized its products. Its overseas export orders have quadrupled, and half of the tow tractors at airports nationwide are produced by the company.

Wu Xiangming, deputy director of the technical center at Weihai Guangtai, explained that in the process of developing tow tractors, parameters such as the size of the aircraft tires, aircraft weight, and landing gear steering angle are continuously adjusted, tested, and simulated.

As a leading enterprise in the airport ground equipment industry, Weihai Guangtai has been committed to independent technological innovation for over 30 years. They have now achieved the localization and electrification of a full range of airport ground equipment products. Many of their products have addressed critical technological bottlenecks in airport equipment, filling domestic gaps and even making important new innovations. (Edited by Xie Zhenzhen)
