With the right technology for your application, guarantee energy availability for your airport logistics. Luggage tractors, conveyor belt vehicles, cargo lifters and aircraft tractors are just a few examples of ground support equipment that can be electrified.
Depending on your requirements and work processes, we have a number of different motive power solutions to electrify your airport ground vehicles. The proven lead-acid batteries are ideally suited for use at airports thanks to their technical sophistication and continuous development; they make a reliable and economical contribution to airport fleets.
Additionally, lithium-ion batteries are perfectly suited for equipment in constant use thanks to the short opportunity charging. Whereas nickel-cadmium technology is designed for those special applications, such as extreme temperature conditions.

Ground Support Equipment FAQs
HUBTEX Australia provides a range of purpose-built ground support equipment designed to meet the specific needs of aviation operations. Our solutions include vehicles and systems for transporting aircraft components, moving heavy tooling and frames, and supporting maintenance workflows safely and efficiently. With features such as precision control, multidirectional manoeuvrability and robust construction, our ground support systems help streamline aircraft handling and logistics across hangars, maintenance facilities and airport service areas.
Our aviation ground support equipment is developed to optimise movement and handling tasks in busy aviation environments. By using advanced steering systems and load control technology, HUBTEX vehicles enable operators to position aircraft parts, tooling and work platforms with greater precision and fewer manoeuvres. This results in faster turnaround times, reduced handling risk and improved utilisation of floor space. For facilities that require tight coordination between production, assembly and maintenance, HUBTEX ground support systems provide reliable performance and enhanced workflow efficiency.
HUBTEX airport ground vehicles are engineered with the demands of aviation service work in mind. Many aircraft components are oversized, heavy or difficult to position, which means standard material handling equipment is often unsuitable. HUBTEX machines combine rugged durability with the flexibility to operate in confined hangar environments or expansive ramp areas, making them well suited for moving large fuselage sections, engine parts and ground support tooling. This versatility helps aircraft support teams improve safety and reduce handling time during critical operations.
HUBTEX works closely with aviation and airport teams to understand their unique operational challenges and tailor ground handling equipment accordingly. Whether you need custom platform sizes, specialised fixtures for tooling, integrated safety features or remote operation capabilities, HUBTEX can configure a solution that matches your specific needs. This customisation ensures the equipment integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows and supports both current and future ground support requirements.
HUBTEX is recognised as a trusted provider of aviation support equipment because we deliver machines that are engineered for robust performance, precision control and long-term reliability. With local support in Australia and global engineering expertise, HUBTEX offers not only equipment but also consultative guidance to help you select, implement and maintain the right ground support systems for your facility. Whether you are enhancing aircraft maintenance capabilities or seeking more efficient ground handling processes, HUBTEX solutions help improve operational safety, productivity and asset utilisation.
