Description

LEKTRO 88 tow tractors can move aircraft with an MTOW up to 120,000 lbs (54,432 kg), making them ideal for pushbacks and towing regional jets and turboprop aircraft. They are also extremely versatile for being able to tow a wide range of business aircraft and are popular units for busy FBO corporate flight departments worldwide. Aircraft nose gear is secured using a soft strap and cradle system, which eliminates tow bars, is simple to maintain, and helps avoid the complexity that may come with the capture systems on many other towbarless tractors. Electric power and a tight turning radius make the LEKTRO 88 the ideal tow tractor for moving just about any aircraft in its weight capacity.
