Textron GSE Tug 660E

The Textron GSE Tug 660E Electric Mobile Belt Conveyor is a zero-emission, battery-powered solution engineered for efficient aircraft baggage, mail, and light freight handling. Designed specifically for lower deck servicing, the 660E combines clean electric operation with durable ramp-ready construction, making it ideal for enclosed terminals, environmentally sensitive areas, and high-traffic airport environments.

Powered by a fully electric drive system, the 660E eliminates ramp emissions while reducing operating noise and fuel-related maintenance. Its Sevcon MCM electronic controller provides stepless speed control and regenerative braking, improving energy efficiency while delivering smooth, responsive handling. The battery-powered platform includes low battery lockout protection to safeguard system performance and extend battery life.

The 24-inch wide conveyor belt accommodates standard baggage and cargo loads, with a maximum lift height of 170 inches to service a broad range of commercial aircraft lower deck configurations. An electric hydraulic pump rated at 1,500 PSI and 6 gallons per minute ensures consistent and reliable conveyor elevation control. For added operational flexibility, the belt operates in dual directions for both loading and unloading tasks.

Operator efficiency is enhanced through independent control stations located at each end of the conveyor, allowing ground crews to manage positioning and belt functions from either side. An optional remote actuation system further streamlines operation. Hydraulic four-wheel service brakes and a cable-actuated rear parking brake provide secure stopping power, while an electric brake on the conveyor motor holds loads safely when stationary. In the event of power interruption, an emergency manual lift pump enables controlled conveyor lowering.

Constructed on a heavy-duty formed steel channel frame chassis with a 110-inch wheelbase, the 660E is built for long-term durability in demanding ramp conditions. Combining environmental responsibility with reliable performance and operational versatility, the Textron GSE Tug 660E is a smart, modern solution for today’s ground support fleets.
