For Turboprop and Business Jets

LEKTRO® 87 All-Electric Aircraft Tow Tractor

LEKTRO® 87 tow tractors are designed to tow aircraft with a MTOW up to 85,000 lbs (38,555 kg), making them ideal for pushbacks and towing of turboprop aircraft and most long-range business jets. Aircraft nose wheels are secured with a torque-sensing turntable cradle and soft nylon strap, which eliminates tow bars and helps avoid the complexity that comes with hard capture systems common on many towbarless tractors. All-electric power and a tight turning radius makes the LEKTRO 87 the ideal tow tractor for corporate operators, medium FBOs, military helicopters, aircraft OEMs, and regional airlines.
