Alligator
The All New Alligator Series:
Extremely Flat – extremely Flexible.
Designed to easily dock under helicopters with low ground clearance and equipped with devices such as FLIR, radar, antennas and cameras.
Tugs of the Mototok Alligator series are the most compact electric, towbarless aircraft tugs worldwide. The unique and patented clamp technology of the Mototok Alligator series lifts the nose wheel of the helicopter safely, smoothly and at an incredibly low height, with the lifting platform being only 200 mm high. 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
Mototok Alligator series tugs are extremely flat and specifically designed to easily dock under helicopters with low ground clearance, regardless of attachments below the fuselage such as FLIR, radar, antennas, or cameras. 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.
Very low construction height.
Only 200mm height in the platform area.
Thanks to its extremely low height in the area of the nose wheel platform, collisions with attached equipment are virtually impossible.
In this example, the FLIR hangs relatively low under the helicopter. However, the low design of the platform makes it possible to dock the Mototok to the nose wheel without having to fear a collision with the FLIR.
The lifting height of the platform is sufficient to ensure that the FLIR does not collide with the housing of the Mototok even when manoeuvring - i.e. even if the Mototok turns away under the fuselage. Free manoeuvring is possible.
Automated loading process –
Sensor monitored
The Mototok Alligator is operated exactly as you may know it from our other models SPACER, TWIN, and M: With the help of the radio remote control you move the tug up to the nose wheel of the aircraft. The automatic loading 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.
