Aircraft Towbar (Make-in-India, GSE Support India-manufactured)

GSE Support India manufactures aircraft towbars at its New Delhi facility under India's Make-in-India industrial programme, targeting both the domestic airline market and export buyers seeking competitively priced alternatives to European and North American OEM equivalents. The towbar connects the aircraft nose-landing-gear tow-eye to the pushback tractor's fifth-wheel coupling, transmitting tow and pushback forces while protecting the landing gear through a calibrated shear-pin mechanism that severs under overload before structural damage can occur. The product range covers the major narrowbody types operating across South Asia and the wider aviation world — Airbus A320 family and Boeing B737 family being the highest-volume applications — as well as widebody applications including A330 and B777. Each towbar is designed to the applicable aircraft manufacturer's towing specification, with replaceable shear pins sized to the NLG load limits. GSE Support India also stocks the companion shear bolts and shear pins as replacement spares, allowing ground handlers to restock consumable safety components from the same source. For a procurement engineer, the case for locally fabricated towbars rests on lead time and total cost: manufacturing proximity enables faster delivery and refurbishment turnaround than imported units, and the New Delhi facility's multi-decade experience in GSE fabrication supports the quality baseline expected for flight-line-critical tooling. The range is relevant to any carrier or ground handler standardising on A320/B737 operations and seeking to rationalise their towbar and shear-pin supply chain.
