Flexible towbarless tug launched

TNA Aviation Technologies has announced the North and South American release of the TowFLEXX 120e HG, an advanced and versatile electric towbarless aircraft tug. This product has been designed to combine the best in flexibility, adaptability, practical features, tow capacity and capability.

According to the company’s Michael Turwitt, customers have been asking for more affordable and compact tow tug systems, especially in the aircraft weight range of 10,000 to 30,000 pounds MTOW.

The TowFLEXX 120e HG features a powerful electric motor and many capabilities that deliver functionality normally only found in bigger and more expensive tow tugs. Customers can thus use this versatile tug for a wide range of aircraft, all the way up to medium size corporate jets, with either single or twin nose wheel configuration. There are no special adapters required and loading the aircraft nose gear is fast and easy; moreover, the ergonomic multi-functional tiller steering control can be operated with one hand.
