High-Capacity Electric Towing Solution
LEKTRO® 89M Military Aircraft Tow Tractor
LEKTRO® 89M tow tractors are designed to tow military aircraft with a MTOW up to 280,000 lbs (127,005 kg), making them ideal for towing fighters and transport aircraft up to a C-130. Aircraft nose wheels are secured with our patented universal nose gear lift torque-sensing turntable cradle and soft nylon strap, which eliminates tow bars. All-electric power with a short turning radius makes the LEKTRO 89M the ideal tow tractor for aircraft hangar positioning and towing on congested flight lines. Diesel/electric-hybrid options are available for flexible-use applications.
