With Mototok tugs maneuvering helicopters is an extremely convenient and time-saving task. Due to the extremely low height any type of attachments below the helicopter such as FLIR systems, radar, headlights and the like do not interfere with the process of loading the nose wheel or skids.
Mototok guarantees flexible handling. So the TWIN-Series and the M-Series can also be used in mixed tasks with airplanes and helicopters.
Thanks to the radio remote control, the operator can always walk around the helicopter during maneuvering to ensure that it does not collide with other aircraft or the hangar wall.
Due to the electric drive both operating and maintenance costs are extremely low, so that the investment is amortized after a very short time.
Mototok tugs are extremely sturdy and durable, so they can be used in the most adverse weather conditions such as ice, snow or saltwater environments.
All Mototoks comes with outstanding benefits, such as:
- Full electric drive
- Radio remotely controlled
- Fully automatic nose gear engaging function: loads and unloads the nosewheel automatically with one tap on the remote (not M515 with semi-automatic loading system)
- Only 1 person required for operation
- High powered electric motors
- No driving license required
- Minimal operating costs
- Minimal maintenance costs
- Park your helicopter using the last corner of your hangar and save space
- Quickest Return on Investment
Optional Equipment
- Ground power cable for gound power connection
- Trailer coupling adaptor for multi-functional extensions
- Automatic controls by ground markings (AGV functionality)
- Adaptations for special demands
- Spiral cable connection (15 m) between Mototok and control unit instead of radio remote control
- Saltwater resistance
Move swiftly. Whenever you need to and without worries.
Low Construction.
FLIR system mounted underneath your aircraft? No problem: The tug’s exceptionally low construction doesn’t get in the way of your infrared cameras, antennas, or search headlights.
Swift Operation.
Thanks to automatic one-click connection, docking is a matter of seconds, and with speeds up to 1.5m per second (that's 4'11"), you are good to go quicker than you can say “Get the tow tractor, Randy”.
Sturdy Design.
Our tugs are watertight and saltwater resistant. Built from the best components to be found, they can be safely operated in rain and snow, and even on icy surfaces. They’re virtually indestructible and need close to zero maintenance.
Take a Look inside
The TWIN-Series and M-Series are based on a U-shaped construction with a hydraulic platform that lifts the nose wheel. Two electric drives provide propulsion and maneuverability. Two hydraulical wheel securing paddles hold the nose gear fixed in position and prevents a slipping off from the platform.
Easy to Use
The loading and operating process of wheeled helicopter is carried out with the utmost security and precision. In addition, it runs fully automatically on many models such as the TWIN and the M528.
The engaging procedure can be started automatically by pressing just one button on the remote control.
Drive the Mototok with opened hydraulical door and lowered platform towards the nose wheel of the aircraft until the nose wheel touches the sliding table. 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.
The securing paddles lowers down and clamps the nose wheel gently and safely – ready for moving the aircraft. The whole procedure takes 10-15 seconds only.
