Description

The Eagle EB2-7 Bob Tail high-speed cargo tractor is built on the Ford Super Duty F-350 chassis. The EB2-7 is offered with a Gas power train. The Eagle EB2-7 offers customers 7,500 lbf. DBP to tow up to 75,000 lbs. of cargo at 25 mph (40 kph) in typical operating conditions (Wet, 1% grade). In 1969, the genesis of today’s air cargo industry occurred. Eagle was there to answer the airlines’ call for an all-weather, high-speed cargo tractor which had not yet been invented. Eagle successfully engineered and developed the Ford F350 Bob Tail for United Airlines at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Within two decades, the Eagle Bob Tail had become the narrow and wide-body cargo towing standard used by all North American and British Airlines. In the mid 1990’s, some cargo customers tried using industrial tractors, converted to high speed use, as Bob Tail replacements. However, by the early 2000’s the converted industrial tractors had demonstrated a track record of unreliability, and excessive driver fatigue and discomfort. Because of these problems with traditional tractors, the Eagle Bob Tail has continued to thrive, and is still the leader in high-speed, long-distance cargo towing today. Here is what the Eagle EB2-7 Bob Tails have to offer: Eagle Tugs was the originator of the Bob Tail design over 45 years ago. The Ford F350 Chassis has an unequaled, commercially-proven, reliable drive train and braking system. Power steering and braking, ventilated front and rear disc brakes, and heavy-duty wheels and radial tires. Ford cabs are ergonomic, comfortable and safe. Air Conditioning is standard (can be deleted upon request).
