For Efficient Aircraft Ground Handling

LEKTRO® 88M Towbarless Aircraft Tow Tractors

LEKTRO® 88M 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 avoid the complexity that comes with tow bars and hard capture systems common on many towbarless tractors. Electric power and a tight turning radius make the LEKTRO 88M the ideal tow tractor for airline pushback operations. Diesel/electric-hybrid options are available for flexible-use applications.
