LEKTRO® 86 tow tractors are designed to tow aircraft with a MTOW up to 40,000 lbs (18,143 kg), making them ideal for towing many single-engine aircraft up through many corporate jets. Aircraft nose wheels are secured with the patented universal nose gear lift cradle and soft nylon strap, which eliminates tow bars and avoid the complexity that comes with hard capture systems common on many towbarless tractors. All-electric power and a tight turning radius make the LEKTRO 86 the ideal tow tractor for constricted hangar aircraft positioning and moving aircraft on congested flight lines. This is a perfect choice for FBOs and other general aviation operations.
