Improve Your Pushback Operations efficiency significantly.

The new Spacer 8600 NG.

The Mototok Spacer 8600 NG comes with a bunch of innovative features: safety and simplicity in mind. It is considered state-of-the-art amongst compact pushback tractors – in terms of technology, economy and ecology. The Spacer 8600 operates at several airports around the world, delivering performance, efficiency and enabling punctuality. The 28 units operating at Heathrow, Terminal 5A, for instance, complete more than 100,000 pushbacks each year.

The enhanced SPACER 8600 NG has new features that further simplify operation on the tarmac e.g., onboard charger with CEE plug, so that it can be charged wherever an industrial socket is available, remote control now features an integrated display and many more.

Our towbarless tug is compatible with the most important short-haul aircraft:

  • Airbus A320 Family incl. 321 NEO
  • Boeing 737, Boeing 737 MAX
  • Embraer E-Jets
  • MHI / Bombardier CRJ

Perfectly Though-out Design.
