TLD Group

TLD, part of Alvest, is the largest manufacturer of ground support equipment (GSE) in the world, with production sites across France, the United States and China. Its catalogue covers pushback tractors, belt loaders, container loaders, ground power units, air-conditioning units and passenger stairs — essentially the entire ramp fleet on which any Gulf hub depends. TLD is also a vocal proponent of electric GSE, offering lithium-ion variants of most flagship platforms. In the Gulf, TLD equipment is purchased both directly by airport ground handlers and indirectly via airline fleet programmes.
