Inside the Las Vegas Convention Center, Oshkosh AeroTech will feature three towbarless tractors designed to support a range of aircraft and operating environments:

  • The LEKTRO® 86 Electric Tow Tractor offers a compact footprint and tight turning radius suited for maneuvering aircraft up to 40,000 lbs. in space-constrained hangars and busy flightlines. Its all-electric design provides quiet, zero-emissions operation for general aviation applications.
  • The LEKTRO® 87 Electric Tow Tractor provides added versatility for moving mid-sized business jets (up to 85,000 lbs.) while retaining the maneuverability and towbarless operation characteristic of the LEKTRO line. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the tractor supports efficient aircraft positioning across a variety of business aviation environments.
  • The LEKTRO® 88i Electric Tow Tractor is designed for hangar and ramp aircraft positioning and can accommodate aircraft up to 120,000 pounds on a 3% grade. Its towbarless capture system, maneuverability and zero-emissions operation make it well suited for even the busiest FBOs and other high-utilization aviation operations.

Oshkosh AeroTech will also serve as the official tow partner for the NBAA Aircraft Connection at Henderson Executive Airport. Three LEKTRO® 88i tractors will support aircraft movements during the event along with a LEKTRO® 86 (an extended-length model that tows up to 40,000 pounds) and a LEKTRO® 89 (a powerful model that tows up to 280,000 pounds).
