LB 6500 NG (Max. 50 T)

Fully-electric aircraft tugs of the Mototok LB-Series are the ideal solution for ground support equipment (GSE) for military aviation operations – utterly reliable and dependable, simple and highly flexible to use, with cutting-edge towbarless technology and remote-controlled precision, as well as numerous built-in safety features. The nose wheel of the aircraft is picked up hydraulically and the aircraft is moved around by pushing or pulling. The Tug is controlled via a wireless or alternatively a wired remote control. Transverse forces are not inflicted upon the nosewheel and landing gear hence no damgage will be caused to the bearings and other landing gear related components. According to the relative rotation speed of both driving wheels every route can be performed.

Full electric drive
Radio remotely controlled, alternatively cable controlled
Fully automatic nose gear engaging function: loads and unloads the nosewheel automatically with one tap on the remote

Description

AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC NOSEGEAR LOADING

Sensor controlled – smart, fast, easy and safe.

CONVENIENT USAGE

Loading the nose gear is as simple as tapping a button on the remote.

With the Mototok LB-Series, loading and unloading the nose gear of your military aircraft is quick, simple, and safe thanks to an automatic hydraulic and sensor-controlled system unique in this class of aircraft tugs. Simply drive the Mototok up to the nose wheel. The wheel is then hydraulically fixed firmly in position and raised – ready for take off! All this with no awkward strap, no inconvenient winch. No bolts or tools are required.

Radio remote controlled operating under an industrial frequency code approved for airports
Automatic connection to the aircraft‘s nose wheel with one tap on a button of the remote
No straps, no winch, no tools required

SUITABLE FOR DIFFERENT TIRE SIZES.

As standard, the Mototok LB Series is equipped with a nose wheel platform consisting of:

2 wedges that fix the nose wheel in the lower area and
1 or 2 safety paddles (depending on the nose wheel used, can be replaced in a few easy steps).

The safety paddle(s) ensure a secure, force-locked and form-fit fixation of the nose wheel. This safely prevents the nose wheel from sliding out upwards, which would make the aircraft no longer controllable.
