To meet the requirements for handling regional aircraft types is an expanding market sector.
The TBL-50 is designed for pushback and maintenance towing of commuter for example: ATR, Dash 8, Embraer, SAAB and even up to B737 as well as A320.
A complete new design and patent for the docking device "cradle" is the base for this tractor.
The force monitoring system (F.A.C.T.®) enables constant and accurate measuring of tow and brake force as well as turn force and angle, thus making it possible to handle commuter aircrafts towbarless with absolute security.
In line with all other KALMAR- TBL tractors the TBL 50 is able to dock without moving or lifting the aircraft.
The cabin is equipped with our unique gas-hydraulic suspension, giving a superb comfort to the driver.
