Keep aircraft on schedule, eliminate downtime, and simplify ground operations with lithium-ion energy solutions purpose-built for baggage tugs, belt loaders, pushback tractors, and GSE equipment.
Support rapid charging during gate operations and scheduled breaks.
Eliminate hazardous materials from ground operations and meet international airline safety standards.
Maintain full power in any condition: no cold-weather swaps, no weather-dependent downtime.
Monitor charge status, health, utilization, and alerts across gates, tugs, and service fleets.
Pushback tractors, belt loaders, catering trucks, lavatory vehicles, and fuel trucks operate on tight schedules during aircraft turnarounds. A single battery failure cascades into delays and missed departures.
Key Benefits
Reliable Starting Power in Cold Weather
Fast Charging During Gate Operations
Flux Power lithium-ion batteries for aircraft pushbacks and other pre-flight and aircraft servicing equipment.

Learn More About Lithium-Ion for AirlinesProblem
A major U.S. carrier operating 50+ baggage tugs, belt loaders, and support vehicles across multiple hubs faced frequent battery failures during peak turnaround windows. Lead-acid batteries degraded in winter, required constant maintenance, and forced equipment off the ramp during critical periods. Ground crews spent hours managing battery swaps and maintenance instead of focusing on aircraft operations.
Solution
The airline transitioned its entire baggage tug and support equipment fleet to Flux Power lithium-ion batteries, paired with SkyEMS fleet monitoring for real-time visibility across gates and hubs.
Result
40% reduction in ground crew battery maintenance labor
Zero equipment downtime due to battery failure during peak turnaround windows
50% reduction in annual battery replacement costs
100% uptime achieved during winter operations (vs. seasonal degradation with lead-acid)
Real-time visibility into fleet status and battery health across all gates
Does Flux Power make batteries for tow tractors, belt loaders, and cargo loaders?
Can lithium-ion batteries keep up with 24/7 operations?
Yes. Flux Power lithium ion batteries are designed for opportunity charging during breaks, between flight banks, and at shift change, so one battery per truck can often support round the clock schedules.
Which Flux Power batteries power forklifts in air cargo terminals?
Most cargo terminals use X-Series batteries for Class I counterbalance forklifts, S-Series for walkie pallet jacks, and M36 for narrow aisle reach trucks. L-Series, M24, and C-Series cover 3 wheel forklifts, end and center riders, and automated vehicles.
