Make it yours.

electricity-driven
Electrically Powered
Powerful and emission-free electric motors provide enormously powerful driving forces.
one-person-job
One-person job.
Thanks to radio remote control providing 100% visibility, working with a mototok is a foolproof one-man operation.
low-spacer-requirement
Low space requirement
Mototok can be parked directly in the immediate vicinity of the gate without becoming an obstuction.

More revenue.

Thanks to the power of engineering.

cost-effective
Cost effective
Enormous cost reduction in staff, operational and maintenance costs. Planning and scheduling becomes more easy and flexible.
driving-licence
Everybody can use Mototok pushback tugs!
A Half-day training for the staff is all you need. No driving license required.
3-boarding-bridges
One for three.
A Mototok pushback tug can operate up to three, and in some cases up to five passenger boarding bridges.

Eco Friendly.

And low maintenance.

Low maintenance
Compared to conventional combustion engines and other drive arrangements electric motorised machines are much less accident-sensitive.

Quickest ROI.

reduce-waiting-time
Reduce the average time of waiting for pushing back the aircraft!
Every minute of waiting for the pushback tug costs money. What, if the access time to a pushback tug tends towards immediately?
driving-licence
No governmental driving license required.
Only specialized and authorized staff is permitted to push back aircraft with a conventional pushback tug. What, if everybody of the staff would have the permission to pushback the aircraft?
access-immediately
Get access to a pushback tug immediately!
Our concept is to provide up to three boarding bridges with an electrical Mototok tug. Push back the aircraft just in time.

Mototok-Spacer8600NG-LoadingProcess-1

Loading the nose wheel with the Mototok Spacer 8600 NG electric tug is quick, safe and easy. The entire process is sensor-monitored and therefore virtually fail-safe.

2

Mototok-Spacer8600NG-LoadingProcess-2

Drive the Mototok with opened hydraulical door and lowered platform towards the nose wheel of the aircraft until the nose wheel touches the inner wedge the nose wheel platform. Then press the start-button on the remote control.

The hydraulical door closes.

4

The closed hydraulic door is now pulled up to a specific pressure on the nose wheel. This means that fixing different nose wheel diameters is no problem.

5

The platform lifts up and raises the nose wheel.

6

Lastly the operator has to bring down the safety paddles manually – ready for moving the aircraft. The whole procedure takes 10-15 seconds only.

Convenient Usage

Loading the nose gear is as simple as tapping a button on the remote.

Docking takes a matter of seconds from the rear or front of the nose wheel. Simply drive the Mototok up to the nose wheel. The wheel is then hydraulically fixed firmly in position and raised – ready for take off! All this with no awkward strap, no inconvenient winch. No bolts or tools are required.

  • Radio remote controlled operating under an industrial frequency code approved for airports
  • Automatic connection to the aircraft‘s nose wheel with one tap on a button of the remote
  • No straps, no winch, no tools required

Eliminate the waiting time for a conventional pushback tug!

See what British Airways and Tech Insider say about the innovative way of pushing back aircraft!

British Airways is using 28 Mototok SPACER 8600 to push back airplanes. Using this new electric robot has resulted in a 54% reduction in delays at Heathrow Airport T5. It has also reduced emissions and is surprisingly easy to maneuver.
