Aircraft Towing Wheeled Tractor

Aircraft Towing Wheeled Tractors are specialized vehicles used for towing aircraft on the airfield. They are part of the supply class Airfield Specialized Trucks and Trailers, which falls under the supply group Aerospace Craft Launching, Landing, Ground Handling, and Servicing Equipment.

These tractors are designed to safely and efficiently move aircraft within the airfield, such as from the parking area to the runway or vice versa. They are equipped with powerful engines and heavy-duty towing capabilities to handle the weight and size of various types of aircraft.

Aircraft Towing Wheeled Tractors typically have a low-profile design, allowing them to easily maneuver around the airfield and navigate tight spaces. They are equipped with specialized towing attachments, such as tow bars or tow hitches, which securely connect to the aircraft's landing gear or other designated towing points.

These tractors may also feature additional equipment, such as hydraulic systems for adjusting the height of the tow bar, braking systems for safe and controlled towing, and communication systems for coordinating with air traffic control or ground crew.

Overall, Aircraft Towing Wheeled Tractors play a crucial role in the ground handling and servicing of aircraft, ensuring efficient movement and positioning of aircraft on the airfield.
