The Textron GSE TUG TMD-330 Air Start Unit (ASU) is a high-capacity ground support solution designed to deliver reliable and efficient aircraft engine starts for commercial and military operations. With an airflow output of 330 lb/min, the TMD-330 provides robust pneumatic power to support a wide range of aircraft types, even in demanding ramp environments.

Powered by a Cummins Tier IV diesel engine rated at 675 hp, the TMD-330 balances strength, fuel efficiency, and environmental compliance. Its automatic compressor cool-down system helps protect the unit from overheating and extends component life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

The TMD-330 is built on a rugged 4-wheel trailer chassis, with options for truck-mounted or skid-mounted configurations, making it adaptable to diverse airport layouts and operational requirements. Operators benefit from a color LCD display that provides real-time system performance and diagnostics, while a unit-running beacon enhances visibility and ramp safety.

With a tow speed of up to 15 mph, the TMD-330 is quick to reposition across the ramp. Its durable design, advanced safety features, and operator-friendly interface make it a trusted choice for airports, airlines, and ground handling providers seeking a powerful, reliable air start unit.
