Attendees are encouraged to stop by booth #4145 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (West Hall) to see how Oshkosh AeroTech and its products and technology are shaping the future of aviation.

“Our consistent presence at NBAA-BACE for the past several decades underscores our commitment to supporting general aviation professionals around the world with dependable, efficient ground support equipment solutions,” said Jesse Long, Director of Sales for Oshkosh AeroTech’s General Aviation business. “From pioneering electric, towbarless towing technology to delivering dependable performance, our products have been driving progress in ground support equipment for decades and we’re just getting started.”

Oshkosh AeroTech will display several LEKTRO® electric tow tractors at both the Convention Center (booth #4145) as well as at the Static Display (at Henderson Executive Airport), where LEKTRO tow tractors are used as the official tow vehicle of NBAA including:

  • LEKTRO® 86 Electric Tow Tractor: Ideal for towing single-engine aircraft up through corporate jets (up to 40,000 lbs.), this tow vehicle offers all-electric power and a tight turning radius for constricted hangar aircraft positioning and moving aircraft on congested flightlines.
  • LEKTRO® 87 Electric Tow Tractor: This versatile machine is designed for pushbacks and towing of turboprop aircraft up through most long-range business jets (up to 85,000 lbs.). The cradle and strap system secures nose wheels without tow bars, providing a robust, all-electric solution for corporate operators, medium FBOs, military helicopters, aircraft OEMs and regional airlines.
  • LEKTRO® 88i Electric Tow Tractor: This highly maneuverable tow vehicle is the heart of FBOs around the world, ideal for both hangar and ramp aircraft positioning (up to 120,000 lbs. on a 3% grade). Additionally, the LEKTRO 88i is now available with a lithium-ion battery option.
  • LEKTRO® 89 Electric Tow Tractor: This workhorse of the ramp is designed for pushbacks and towing of aircraft all the way up to BBJs and ACJs (up to 280,000 lbs. including B757). Our standard strap and cradle capture system makes this one of the most versatile tow vehicles on the market today (capable of handling single and dual nose wheel aircraft).

NBAA-BACE follows the excitement of International GSE Expo where Oshkosh AeroTech unveiled the Tempest-si™ compact deicer and Battery-Powered AmpCart™ Towable Charging Platform. The compact and durable design of the Tempest-si deicer enables efficient movement across tight ramps while maintaining safety near aircraft. The vehicle offers stainless steel body panels to guard against corrosion and features a redesigned fluid tank for high utilization. The Battery-Powered AmpCart builds off the proven AmpCart platform, a highly mobile charging platform which enables charging of electric ground support equipment anywhere on the ramp.
