Why Towbar-less?

SAFE - Towbarless tugs are safer because the tug supports the weight of the aircraft nosewheel, and uses the aircraft weight to balance. Because of this, there is no towbar that can bend or break and lead to an aircraft rolling away without brakes.

Why Electric?

NON-POLLUTING - Electric tugs are cleaner because, unlike a diesel, there's no need to warm up and there are no fumes pumping into the atmosphere if you have to wait for an aircraft.

1. Aircraft Lifting Procedure

The AIRLIFT lifting procedure is safer because the tug supports the weight of the aircraft nosewheel, and uses the aircraft weight to balance.

 

2. Manoeuvring with the AIRLIFT electric aircraft tug

The AIRLIFT manoeuvring procedure is non-polluting, clean and efficient.

 

3. Aircraft Setting Down Procedure

The AIRLIFT setting down procedure is safer because there is no towbar that can bend or break and lead to an aircraft rolling away without brakes.
