Narrative:
Maintenance taxi of aircraft from gate from terminal to parking pad. During taxi, given instructions of final leg of taxi to hold short of runway 30L on taxiway C. On approach to the hold line, applying brakes to aircraft, the aircraft did not respond quick enough and had to apply brakes harder. The aircraft passed the hold short line approximately 10-15 ft. Tower then cleared us to cross. We applied the brakes going to the pad and seemed to work normally. We were told to call the tower (FAA). We discussed the incident. The decisions on stopping the aircraft a little sooner could have created a better situation and not caused this to happen. The tower reported there was aircraft on approach. We did not see any. Paying more attention and possibly more time taxiing aircraft may improve this from not happening again.

Title: MDT MAINT TECHNICIANS PASSED THE RWY HOLD SHORT LINE WHEN REPOSITIONING THE ACFT DUE TO APPLYING THE BRAKES TOO LATE, TOGETHER WITH THE HESITATION OF THE BRAKES TO REACT.
Narrative: MAINT TAXI OF ACFT FROM GATE FROM TERMINAL TO PARKING PAD. DURING TAXI, GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS OF FINAL LEG OF TAXI TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 30L ON TXWY C. ON APCH TO THE HOLD LINE, APPLYING BRAKES TO ACFT, THE ACFT DID NOT RESPOND QUICK ENOUGH AND HAD TO APPLY BRAKES HARDER. THE ACFT PASSED THE HOLD SHORT LINE APPROX 10-15 FT. TWR THEN CLRED US TO CROSS. WE APPLIED THE BRAKES GOING TO THE PAD AND SEEMED TO WORK NORMALLY. WE WERE TOLD TO CALL THE TWR (FAA). WE DISCUSSED THE INCIDENT. THE DECISIONS ON STOPPING THE ACFT A LITTLE SOONER COULD HAVE CREATED A BETTER SIT AND NOT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THE TWR RPTED THERE WAS ACFT ON APCH. WE DID NOT SEE ANY. PAYING MORE ATTN AND POSSIBLY MORE TIME TAXIING ACFT MAY IMPROVE THIS FROM NOT HAPPENING AGAIN.
