3.3 General Vehicle Description
The aircraft tug frame is made of steel and is galvanized, thus completely weatherproof.
Two individually driven solid rubber tires together with the heavy-duty xed castors make
the aircraft tug extremely maneuverable so that it can be rotated 360 degrees on the spot
without restrictions.
The charger, operating instructions and multifunctional display (MDI) can be accessed via the
front storage compartment. In addition, there are two storage compartments at the side of the
aircraft tug. All functions of the tug are electronic, mechanical and electromechanical. Thus, the
aircraft tug is completely free of hydraulics.
3.4 Drive
The drive is provided by two 5 kW 48 VAC motors. The ange-mounted helical gearbox as well
as the power transmission via chain drive achieve the high traction forces. For optimum power
transmission, two 18“ solid rubber tires are mounted as drive wheels.
3.5 Lighting
The Lighting system Includes:
• Two Headlights
• Two Back Headlights
• Two lights for the Lifting Platform
• Direction Indicators
• Status-LED
• Strobe light (optional)
• Work light (optional)
Please observe the local regulations for lighting. Special adaptions are available if needed.
3.6 Brake
In general, the aircraft tug is braked by energy recovery. The motors work like generators and
easily feed the batteries with the generated energy. If this deceleration of the pure braking
force is not sucient, an opposite control command can increase the deceleration.
