CLQ01 Self-Propelled Trailer for Airfield Lighting Maintenance
Function overview
The CLQ01 self-propelled trailer for airfield lighting maintenance is a multifunctional unit designed for the maintenance of airfield lighting systems. It is capable of cleaning surface contaminants (such as rubber deposits and other pollutants) from various types of airfield lights, including centerline lights, edge lights, taxiway lights, and touchdown zone lights. Additional functions include cleaning guidance signs, providing a mobile air source for lighting maintenance, supplying mobile power for temporary lighting, and spraying insecticides along the runway shoulders. By using this specialized equipment, the light intensity of airfield lights can be effectively restored, thereby ensuring flight safety. The trailer offers versatile functionality, making it well-suited for a wide range of emergency and maintenance needs at airports.

Safety design philosophy and concept
The CLQ01 self-propelled trailer for airfield lighting maintenance adopts a German AL-KO chassis, equipped with braking and collision protection systems, ensuring excellent safety performance. At the same time, in response to airport requirements for multiple functions—including cleaning of airfield lighting fixtures (centerline lights, edge lights, taxiway lights, and touchdown zone lights), guidance sign cleaning, insecticide spraying along runway shoulders, provision of mobile air supply (for pneumatic tools used in the disassembly, maintenance, and installation of lighting fixtures), and mobile power supply (for lighting needs)—as well as demands for high efficiency and environmentally friendly operations, this equipment has been developed as a multifunctional support solution that integrates fast and efficient, non-damaging cleaning of airfield lights and signs, mobile power, mobile air supply, and insecticide spraying along runway shoulders.
Reliability and advancement
Leveraging years of experience in the research and development of specialized equipment for airport runway and taxiway surfaces, as well as extensive analysis of experimental data and constructive suggestions from end-users, the product has undergone continuous optimization in design and component selection, significantly enhancing overall performance. Key components, such as the imported air compressors, dryers, and wet-dry sandblasting machines, are chosen for their high quality and reliable performance, greatly improving the product's reliability. All selected components and materials are of the highest precision and grade in their category, rigorously inspected and tested to ensure the overall system's efficient operation and long-term reliability.
