Mototok.
Tons of benefits.
Strong.
Maximum torque from speed 0 - the unique advantage of an all-electric drive.
Electrically powered.
Green technology with low maintenance.
Take advantage of the benefits of all-electric propulsion: low operating costs, low maintenance, and a reduced carbon footprint on the tarmac and in the hangar. Our batteries are virtually maintenance-free and impress with their long service life. Depending on the area of application and the weight of the aircraft to be maneuvered, one battery charge lasts for up to several days without recharging – and recharge is done quickly within 3-6 hours.
The newest generation of several Mototoks can be ordered with an on-board charger that allows you to charge the Mototok at any 400V CEE industrial socket with up to 16 kW.
Remotely controlled.
High maneuverability due to freedom of movement of the operator
Safe. Fast.
And convenient.
Fully hydraulic lifting platform with automatic and sensor-controlled nose wheel fixation
Docking an aircraft is a matter of seconds: Simply press a button on the remote control to initiate the automatic loading process. The whole process is finished in about 15 seconds – ready for takeoff.
No straps, no winch, no crawling under the aircraft to fix the nose gear. All elements that clamp the nose wheel are hydraulically movable and are monitored by sensors.
Highly manoeuvrable. For optimal mobility in tight situations.
Because of its compact dimensions and the non-required towbar, the Mototok tug is highly manoeuvrable. It securely clamps the nose wheel and lifts it. To turn an aircraft on the spot, the Mototok only needs a circular area with a diameter roughly equal to the wingspan.
Fixing the nose gear without stress.
Fully hydraulic and sensor monitored nose wheel platform.
Due to the aircrafts design, the nose landing gear is mounted at an specific angle. Manoeuvring an aircraft with a double nose wheel with a towbarless tug therefore results in the rearing up of the outer wheel when the steering angle is strong.
Mototok balances the lifting of a nose wheel by means of the safety paddles. A gas accumulator is used to compensate the pressure on the paddles. At any steering angle, the nose wheels are thus securely and yet flexibly fixed, so that the nose gear is not subjected to any additional stress
All Mototok movements are controlled by low-maintenance hydraulics. Since mechanical and logical processes must be controlled, most Mototoks are equipped with a multitude of sensors that monitor the sequence of the respective process.
Oversteering Protection. Safety for the nose gear.
With the help of the optional Oversteering Protection System, excessive stress on the nose gear due to oversteering or other destructive forces is eliminated. When a defined torque is reached, the Mototok warns the operator and shuts down if the warning is not heeded. If the Mototok is equipped with our I-NPS (Intelligent Nosegear Protection System), the Mototok initiates a countersteering to eliminate the overtorque situation. The Oversteering Protection System is available for both single and double nose wheel.
This feature is recommended if unhooking the torque link of the nose gear is not intended or not possible.
Highest quality standards. Made in Germany.
Our innovative built to last aircraft tractors are best equipped for daily heavy use as they consist of high-grade material, hand-picked components according to the finest engineering designs. Our products are capable of withstanding the toughest conditions when exposed to wind and salt water. Thanks to a selection of the finest materials, only limited maintenance is necessary.
Our production process corresponds and applies to all necessary demands and conditions required in the engineering industry.

Ground Handling goes digital. The Mototok cloud.
Mototok comes with a central processing unit (CPU) for features and adjustments relating to
- Towing and braking forces
- Oversteering protection
- Unit diagnostics
- Log files
- User access
The CPU can be linked with any mobile device (smartphone, tablet or laptop) via Bluetooth, WLAN or USB and a standard internet browser (like Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). Once you are linked to the system, you are able to manage many kinds of adjustments of the Mototok.
The log in can be done via a RFCI-card and a card reader on the machine. According to the authorization level, the user is able to move the Mototok, check or adjust the settings or read out the log files.
Remote access – technical support out of the cloud.
Everything in sight – from everywhere. Always receive information about the condition and the battery status, the location and activities of each Mototok in your fleet. Connect virtually with our Mototok technicians to quickly get help with any technical problems you may have.
More Revenue. Increase profits with cutting edge technology.
Cost effective
No need for maintenance plans, no special licenses, no highly skilled staff: Mototoks’ low maintenance and personnel costs effectuate the quickest ROI of the industry. Utilizing cutting edge technology, using an electric Mototok is a simple one-man-operation.
Time and Space Efficient.
Connecting our electric tugs to your airplane's nosegear is a matter of seconds, and thanks to its highly precise maneuvering abilities and elaborate design, Mototok reliably optimizes usage of limited space in the hangar and on the apron with no need to recharge for days on end.
Safe and Easy.
Get it done with a single machine that’s adjustable to every wheel size, fully programmable to eliminate human error, automatically connects to the nose gear completely hands free with no further equipment required in about 10 sec, and is powered by an emission-free electric drive to be operated both inside and out.
More Safety. We care about your aircraft.
i-NPS: Intelligent Nosegear Protection System.
No chance to oversteer the nose gear due to the programmable oversteer protection and counter steer system.
Accurately maneuverable.
Mototok turns exactly around the same spot as the nose gear turns itself. That results in no movement of the aircraft's wings or fuselage during turning the nose gear whilst in stopped position.
All-round view.
No knocks, no collisions, no wingwalker: Our high-tech radio remote control with worldwide safety approval on and off the airport provides 100% circumferential visibility to keep tight spots in plain sight.
More Flexibility. Advantage through a wide range of possibilities.
Capable for a wide range of Aircrafts.
Hydraulic diameter adjustment for different wheel sizes – one Mototok tug moves every corporate aircraft regardless of its size, weight and wheel diameter.
Full traction.
Mototok gives you the highest traction through its special tyres. And due to the sum of weights of the aircraft and the Mototok itself in combination with the high powered electric drive with its high torque you will master all shunting tasks even on slippery ground like on snow or ice,
Plug and Charge.
Quickest charging times in the industry and no special electrical requirements. Move airplanes up to 2-3 days (depending on workload) without recharging. With our pushback machines you can manage up to 25 pushbacks with one battery charge. And with Mototok's built in ground power unit (24/28V) in most of our models you can start up the aircraft engines without using a second unit.
