Product Overview

The Aircraft and Wheeled Helicopter Tow Tug is used to tow aircraft and helicopters in the 20 Ton weight class without the use of a towbar. It is fully battery operated, allowing emission-free ground movement of aircraft across the runway and hangar. It is operated with a wired or wireless remote control. The independent drive wheels enable 360° rotation around the clamped wheel allowing parking in tight spaces and easy manoeuvrability.

Optional anti-collision sensors can also be added. The Tow Tug is also available in an electrical only variant (no hydraulics for clamping and lifting).
