For Narrow Body Aircraft
LEKTRO® 89 Towbarless Aircraft Tow Tractor
LEKTRO® 89 tow tractors are designed to tow aircraft with a MTOW up to 280,000 lbs (127,005 kg), making them ideal for pushbacks and towing narrow body aircraft including the B757 and regional aircraft. Aircraft nose gear is secured with a torque-sensing turntable cradle and soft nylon strap, which helps eliminate the complexity that comes with tow bars and hard capture systems that are common on many towbarless tractors. Electric power and a tight turning radius makes the LEKTRO 89 the ideal tow tractor for airline pushback operations. Diesel/electric-hybrid options are available for multi-use applications.
