The world's most compact electric aircraft tug has now become even more compact. Its patented clamp technology fixes the nose gear securely and smooth. The overall height of the  alligator is so low that even extensive attachments below the aircraft fuselage do not obstruct the nose gear clamping.

New nose gear clamping mechanism

With the Mototok Alligator you get a machine that has a completely newly developed mechanism to lift the nose wheel of a helicopter or aircraft. This mechanism allows a safe and smooth clamping of the nose wheel at an incredibly low height: The lifting platform of the Mototok Alligator is only 200 mm high. Thus, the alligator fits under virtually any aircraft regardless of which equipment such as FLIR, radar, antennas or similar is installed.

Mototok Alligator: New Automatic Nose Gear Clamping Mechanism

The Loading Procedure: Convenient and Safe!

Automatic Loading Procedure Mototok Alligator

The Mototok Alligator is operated exactly as you may know it from our previous SPACER, TWIN, and M models: With the help of the radio remote control you move the tug up to the nose wheel f the aircraft. The automatic charging process is started by simply pressing a button on the remote control.

Depending on the size of the nose wheel, the 28 individually movable nose wheel clamps are gently pressed against the nose wheel to hold it securely.
