Ground Handling
MRO / FBO / Airlines
Increase revenue. Lower Costs, avoid Accidents, optimize Hangar Capacity.
Mototok aircraft tugs allow MRO facilities to electrify their ground handling and to increase revenue thanks to cost efficiency, time efficiency, ease of use, and safety.
Cost Efficiency.
Performance Increase.
The advantages of Mototok’s fully-electric, towbarless aircraft tugs allow MRO facilities to significantly increase their performance in daily operations. Mototoks reliably optimizes usage of limited space up to 40% and work flawlessly and speedily in rain, snow, and on ice.
Safe & Easy Use.
More Space: Increase Capacity up to 60% by optimizing parking space.
Hangar situation with a Towbar-Tractor
Typically situation in a hangar – managed with a conventional tow tractor. The biggest disadvantages are:
- All aircraft faces to the hangars gate because you have to consider the exit path of the tow tractor. Parking directly in a hangars corner is impossible.
- The distance between the aircraft has to be
acceptably big.
You are not able to use your hangars full capacity!
Hangar Situation with a Mototok
Same hangar – significantly better result with a Mototok tug:
-
Park your aircraft directly towards a wall or in the hangars corner. You don't have to consider the exit path of mototok.
-
“Stack“ aircraft – park your aircraft with extreme minimal distance. Maneuvering in extreme narrow situations is no problem.
Increase the capacity of your hangar up to 60%
by optimizing parking space!

Hangar situation with a Towbar-Tractor
Towing with a conventional Tractor:
In the optimum case 4 Persons needed:
- 2 Wingwalker
- 1 Brakeman in the Cockpit
- 1 Tug-Driver
Hangar Situation with a Mototok
Circumferential view – only one person with a radio remote control (RRC) needed for moving the aircraft safely.
Safety first
We care about your aircraft.
The hydraulic clamping mechanism of the almost all Mototok models encloses the nose wheel fully hydraulically and sensor controlled with gentle force and prevents it from slipping out of the nose wheel platform. This technology is unique in this class of tugs.
Safety first
A nosewheel is basically offset in order to remain safely on track during take-off and landing. Due to this, ground position point A isnot identical with construction related axis B on the landing gear.
Due to this design-related inclination of the nose wheel suspension,the nose wheel tilts sideways during a rotation of the Mototok. Thehydraulic safety paddles automatically compensate this and gentlyfixes always the nose wheel securely in position.
Convenient Usage
Sensor controlled – smart, fast, easy and safe – here using the Mototok TWIN as an example.
Loading the nose wheel with all Mototok electric tugs is quick and easy. No winch, no lashing straps, no laborious bending down to fix the nose wheel. Let the hydraulic system do the work for you!
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. If necessary, the sliding table is adjustable for fitting smaller nose wheels.
The sliding table presses the nose wheel towards the closed hydraulical door until a specified pressure is reached.
The platform lifts up and raises the nose wheel.
Lastly the operator has to bring down the safety paddles manually – ready for moving the aircraft. The whole procedure takes 10-15 seconds only.
Suitable for different tire sizes.
As standard, all Mototok Series are equipped with a nose wheel platform consisting of:
- 2 wedges that fix the nose wheel in the lower area and
- 1 or 2 safety paddles (depending on the nose wheel used, can be replaced in a few easy steps, TWIN-Series and M-Series only.)
The safety paddle(s) ensure a secure, force-locked and form-fit fixation of the nose wheel. This safely prevents the nose wheel from sliding out upwards, which would make the aircraft no longer controllable.
