CT5-E Electric Cargo / Flatbed Tractor
Electric cargo and flatbed tractor — long-loop apron duty, zero emissions, lithium-ready for GCC ground-handler fleets.
The CT5-E is Charlatte's electric cargo and flatbed tractor for long-loop airside duty — moving cargo dollies between freight terminals and remote stands, towing baggage trains across multi-stand transfers, and serving as the carrier vehicle for ULD repositioning. Lithium battery option, AC traction with regenerative braking, and Charlatte's signature electric-tractor reliability proven across 30,000+ units delivered globally since the 1980s. Heat-tested for Gulf summer conditions and configurable with an enclosed climate-controlled cab for operator comfort during 50°C+ midday turns. Note: Charlatte does not currently produce a dedicated electric ground power unit — the e-GPU role in Gulf operations is filled by sister-brand TLD's POWER-409.
