High-Capacity Electric Tow Tractor
LEKTRO® 88i Towbarless Aircraft Tow Tractor
LEKTRO® 88i Tow Tractors can move aircraft with an MTOW up to 120,000 lbs (54,432 kg) from a standstill on a 3% grade, making them ideal for handing everything from very light jets (VLJs) and turboprops up to large business jets and regional airliners. Aircraft nose gear is secured using a soft strap and cradle system, which eliminates tow bars, is simple to maintain, and helps avoid the complexity that may come with the capture systems on many other towbarless tractors. Electric power and a tight turning radius make the LEKTRO 88i the ideal tow tractor for moving just about any aircraft in its weight capacity.
